Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups pink or green gooseberries (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup crème fraîche
1/4 cup superfine granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Pull off tops and tails of gooseberries and halve berries lengthwise. In a heavy skillet cook berries and granulated sugar over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until liquid is thickened, about 5 minutes. Simmer mixture, mashing with a fork to a coarse puree, 2 minutes more. Chill puree, covered, until cold, about 1 hour, and up to 1 day.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat heavy cream with crème fraîche until it holds soft peaks. Add superfine sugar and beat until mixture just holds stiff peaks. Fold chilled puree into cream mixture until combined well. Fool may be made 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

This recipe was a disaster! The fool was too runny and the gooseberries were too sour. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fool was a bit too sweet for my taste and the gooseberries were a bit tart.

This gooseberry fool was absolutely delicious! It was so light and fluffy, and the gooseberries added a lovely tartness. I will definitely be making this again.
