The Least Favourite Dessert of Verence II, King of Lancre
People say to me: 'Why doesn't our king like gooseberry fool?' And the reason is, after ten years at the Fool's Guild you just never, ever want to see anything that reminds you of it. He's a decent king in most ways, but no matter what anyone said to him he did pass a law outlawing custard anywheren in the kingdom. If you eat this dish in Lancre you'll have to do it with someone on guard, and it's not unknown for packets of yellow powder to be sneaked across the border at night. I'm fond of a bit of custard every so often, but I can give it up any time I like.
380 g gooseberries 100 g caster sugar 200 ml whipping cream
Bereiding:
Cook the gooseberries and the sugar in a pan over a gentle heat for about 15 minutes or until the skins begin to split. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set to one side to cool. Once cool, purée the gooseberries by pressing them through a sieve (or in a food blender). Whip the cream until it is stiff and firm. Fold it gently into the fruit mixture. Spoon into individual bowls and chill well before serving, or tip down the trousers of the nearest clown.
