Cranachan — A Light Fruit Salad

A Russian take on the Scottish dessert with honey and cottage cheese! Cranachan is a fairly rich, high-fat dessert — or, if you like, a light fruit salad from Scottish cuisine. Cranachan is made with a whisky base. I'd like to offer a recipe for a lighter, healthier version of this famous dessert. This cranachan is perfect for breakfast — it gives you energy and brings a smile of pure pleasure. I'm not exaggerating — it's delicious!

So, first we make the honey crumble. It's best to do this ahead, the night before. Dry the oats in the oven like this: put a baking sheet of oats in the oven at 160°C and dry for 10 to 15 minutes. Let them cool overnight. In the morning, mix the honey, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, crushed nuts, and seeds and stir very well — our honey crumble is ready. Just please don't eat it; we'll still need it for the dessert. Next, mash the cottage cheese together with the ryazhenka and blend whatever berries you like in a blender. Actually, you can leave the berries whole. Take a tall glass (clear is best, so you can see all the layers) and build up layers of cottage cheese, fresh berries, blended berries, and honey crumble. That's it. Honestly, it took me longer to write the recipe than to make it. You won't find tastier food!
