Cranachan is a dessert native to the Ireland and Scotland. It's made of a few simple ingredients and is easy to make, yet it's incredibly rich and indulgent. All Celtic countries seem to have a dessert that's a variation on this theme. Read more It's probable that the English classic, trifle, evolved from this tradition. It certainly shares most of the same elements - sweetened whipped cream, some form of grain or cake, fresh fruit - and the local firewater, in this case, Irish whiskey! If you prefer an alcohol-free cranachan, use a few drops of vanilla essence instead. Picture and recipe from Earthy Delights. See less
