  Made this for Christmas Day. Very easy to do and tasted delicious. Had lots of positive comments and requests to make again. Had quite a bit of crunchy oats leftover though

  Made this for a big family meal around christmas and despite being technically for more people than were there it disappeared pretty swiftly with pretty much everyone having seconds, even people who don't normally. I even sent my grandparents home with the recipe so I'd say that was a certain hit with everyone. Shame it requires too many ingredients to be making it regularly but I'll be saving it up for another special occasion.

  Lovely recipe enjoyed by all. I don't use nuts just oats and find it makes a nice basic flapjack style biscuit so I crumble about half for the trifle and the rest gets eaten as a biscuit. Also I think this serves a lot more than 10. I made about two thirds of the given amount and that gave 8 decent portions easily.

  Absolutely delicious! Very easy to make and very moorish. Couldn't leave it alone, kept going back to the fridge for more. Surprising, since i don't even like whiskey!!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie

  I make Cranachan every year for Burn's night, and this year i thought I'd try something a little different and gave this recipe a whirl. To be honest, I prefer normal cranachan. This version was too sweet for me with the honey and sugar in the oats, and extra sweetness in the cream. It wasn't bad, i just prefer the original version.

  This was so easy and was very popular at my Burns supper. I agree with others that it feeds more than the recipe states, but that's not a bad thing.

  I liked everything but the topping, which was neither crunchy or flavoursome enough.

  I made a variation of this; I very rarely add the full quota of sugar in recipes and this was no exception. I didn't add any honey (blasphemy, I know) but I'm not a real honey lover but I do love brown sugar! I therefore only used brown sugar and I toasted everything in a great big paella pan, continually stirring it so until it was golden and really crunchy. Then instead of using cream and mascarpone, I made a combination of whipped cream with marginally sweetened homemade custard (not from a tin as this is way too sweet for me). I think I added some Drambuie rather than whisky or maybe it was a combination of both. I've been told it was excellent and I've had requests for more, so i just have to remember what I did......

  I've just made this for the second time and realised I forgot to put the flour in the first time. Actually, I think I preferred it without the flour! It was crunchier and much easier to crumble - I had to take a rolling pin to it this time! It would make lovely flapjack style biscuits with the flour in it though, so I will try those soon. Mascarpone cheese is not easy to find where we live, so I substituted normal cream cheese - it turned out deliciously and the flavour was really no different, as the sugar and whisky mask the flavour of the cheese in any case. Like everyone else, I had too much crumble - surely this is a GOOD thing. It can be a topping for ice cream or used to top a normal crumble mix - yum yum. My friends have given this the thumbs up for the second time. A very easy dessert, perfect because you can make it in stages and put it together at the last minute.

  By the way, I forgot to say - half of the quantity of everything makes enough for eight individual servings - I served them in wide-rimmed wine glasses and they looked beautiful. Even our group of dinner friends had to admit this was enough - and they are a pretty greedy lot, particularly as we usually eat together after a hard day's walking in the mountains.

  Made this yesterday for Burn's Night and it was lovely. I made too much of course - 18 people so I did 1.5 times the recipe - a single batch would have been enough! When I had finished putting it into individual glasses I folded the remainder of the oat mix into what was left of the cream mix(about half!!) and have frozen it to serve with raspberries another day. I also used sherry instead of whisky for a gentler flavour and befoe I put it in, extracted a couple of portions of the whipped mixture to add a little vanilla to for the children. There wasn't any left...!!

  I've been making this since it first came out in the mag - and it works and is delicious every time. Serves more than it says, though. Interesting comment about there being too much cranachan; what doesn't go in the trifle can be just as easily consumed elsewhere. A top recipe from Good Food. Thank you, O team!

  I have made this twice and it is definitely a show stopper! Next time will make without the flour as it needed a "jack hammer" to get it of the baking sheet! Other thn that Fab!
