Gooseberry Fool is one of those classic British desserts. Don’t be fooled by the name – there is nothing stupid about a dessert which combines gooseberries, yogurt, sugar, vanilla and cream!
Start by heating the gooseberries in a pot with some sugar and water. When the gooseberries have softened, crush them with the back of a fork. While the gooseberries are cooling, mix yogurt, sugar and vanilla with cream to make the creamy base of the fool. Then swirl through the crushed gooseberries and serve!
To make Gooseberry Fool, you will need the following ingredients:
Place the gooseberries in a pot with the sugar and water. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the berries start to burst.
Crush the gooseberries by pressing them with a potato masher or fork until they are soft but still retain some texture.
Allow the crushed gooseberries to cool and then refrigerate until completely cold.
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, icing sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Beat in the cream gently. Don’t over whip it - you want it to thicken but not become stiff.
Swirl the crushed gooseberries and their juices through the cream mixture.
Serve in tall ice cream sundae glasses.
