"I fell in love with this delicious dessert while visiting Scotland. I decided to create my own recipe after returning home. It's an easy, quick, summer dessert. It is made with a cheese you can't find in the states. Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt( minus the vanilla in the recipe) can be used instead of heavy whipping cream."

My wife and I love recipes from the British Isles, though some of the common ingredients like caster sugar and double cream are difficult or impossible to easily find on this side of the Atlantic. The original recipe for cranachan uses double cream, and I think the use of heavy cream would make an acceptable substitute. I'm interested in giving this a try with the Greek yogurt to see how it affects the overall taste.

YUM! This was a great recipe, and so easy! I will say, though, that I didn't add in the whiskey-- I'm not a big fan of alcohol. If you do like whiskey, though, I'm sure you would love it too! The way I made it just meant it could be shared with the whole family!
