Pour a layer of blackcurrant coulis, thickened by chilling.
Stage 9 - 4 min.
Finish with a layer of granola.
Stage 10
Put back in the fridge if not serving immediately.
Remarks
You can swap the layers of blackcurrant and crème, but it's better to leave the granola on top.
You can adapt this recipe by replacing the blackcurrant coulis with another fruit, if possible a slightly tart one, such as raspberry, strawberry, apricot, etc.

Pogne de Romans
Pogne de Romans is a kind of brioche lightly flavoured with orange and rum. It originated in Romans-sur-Isère, a town in south-east France. This recipe dates back to medieval times, when it was made in a ring (or crown) shape to celebrate the end of Lent, as eggs could then be used again. This more contemporary version is not particularly tricky, though it takes a long time for all the kenading and resting stages. October 7th 2018101 K 23.3 1 day 17 hours 40 min.
