Ingredients

 

  • 270ml double cream
  • 100ml milk
  • 25g golden caster sugar
  • 2 gelatine sheets
  • 2tbsp elderflower cordial
  • 1tsp vanilla essence

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

First, make the compote: cut the ends of the gooseberries, and put in a pan. Add the sugar and water, mix well and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Soak the gelatine leaves in some cold water in a bowl for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine the milk and double cream in a pan, then add the sugar, vanilla essence and elderflower cordial. Mix everything well and bring to a simmer.

 Step 4

Once the liquid is simmering, remove the gelatine sheets from the bowl of water, squeeze out as much of the excess water as possible, then add the sheets to the pan. Stir the mixture- the sheets should dissolve after a few minutes.

Step 5

Once the sheets are dissolved, pour the mixture into ramekins. Chill these ramekins in the fridge for around 4 hours to allow to set.
