Method
- Preheat the grill to medium. Spread out the oats on a baking tray and toast under the grill, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and leave to cool. Meanwhile, put the cranberries into a small pan with the whisky, orange juice and sweetener. Bring to a simmer over a low heat and cook for 5 minutes or until the berries have popped and the juices have thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Spoon half of the cranberry mixture into 4 tall dessert glasses. Divide half of the yogurt between the glasses and sprinkle with some of the toasted oats. Repeat the layers, ending with a sprinkling of oats. Decorate each glass with a few fresh cranberries, if using, and serve straight away.
