Method

  1. Put the cranberries and half the sugar in a medium saucepan and place over a gentle heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 mins until the cranberries start to pop. Remove from the heat, stir through the cinnamon and leave to cool.
  2. Pour the cream into a medium bowl and, using an electric hand whisk, beat in the remaining sugar and the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold through the yogurt.
  3. Divide half the cream mix between 4 glasses. Spoon over a few tablespoons of cranberries and crumble over half the shortbread. Repeat these layers once more, using the remaining cream and cranberries then serve with the remaining shortbread bites. Serve within 2-3 hrs.
