Gooseberry Whip

Recipe file created August 18, 2000.
Gooseberries are quite tart. You may want to taste and adjust the sugar before assembling the dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups gooseberries
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped nuts (filberts or almonds)
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Put the gooseberries in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, until soft. Cool.

Puree gooseberries in a blender or food processor. Rub through a sieve. Add granulated sugar. Whip the cream, and stir into the gooseberry mixture.

Melt the margarine in a frying pan. Add nuts and breadcrumbs. Fry until toasted and golden brown. Remove from heat. Add brown sugar.

Put a layer of gooseberry mixture in a glass serving dish, followed by a layer of crumb mixture. Use about half of each mixture per layer. Chill until ready to serve.

NOTE:

You can also layer the dessert in individual serving glasses, which makes a very attractive display.
