Gooseberry Parfait with Raspberries: A Refreshing Frozen Dessert Recipe

Gooseberry Parfait with Raspberries: A Refreshing Frozen Dessert Recipe

Serves 6

Preparation: 20 minutes

Freezing: At least 2 hours (ice cream maker recommended)

Ingredients

  • 300g currants
  • 100g raspberries
  • 200g icing sugar
  • 200g fresh cream

For decoration

  • 100g gooseberries
  • 50g raspberries

Instructions

  1. Wash the currants (in clusters) and raspberries. Gently heat them in a small saucepan with about 1/2 glass of water.
  2. Squeeze the fruit with the back of a spoon. After 5 minutes of cooking, pour through a sieve and allow the clear juice to drain.
  3. Stir in the icing sugar. Let the mixture cool completely.
  4. Incorporate the fresh cream. Note: Add it as is if using a refrigerator ice cream maker, which will whip it while freezing. Otherwise, beat the cream first for best results.
  5. Freeze the mixture.

To serve

Unmold onto a platter lined with a paper lace doily, or portion into individual servings. Decorate with fresh gooseberries and raspberries as desired.
