Instructions
- Place the gooseberries and the caster sugar into a saucepan with a splash of water. Heat gently and bring to a simmer, stir continuously.

- Set aside and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, icing sugar and vanilla paste until smooth
- Add the double cream and continue to whisk, it will thicken as you whisk so please don’t overdo it.
