Sour cream and cream whipped together.

Fold in the gooseberries, don't blend it totally let some of the gooseberries be seen. Cool in the fridge for an hour.

This is a serving suggestion. 2 slices of day old bread cut into logs. 1 tbsp cinnamon and 3 tbsp sugar mixed. 2-3 tbsp melted butter.

Melting butter.

Brush the bred log with the melted butter

Dust with cinnamon and sugar mix

Fry on a non stick frying pan. No butter needed, the butter you brushed on the bread is enough. Fry the croutons until crisp.

Serve the cinnamon croutons warm with the cold gooseberry fool.
