Method
- Put the gooseberries, sugar, 2 tbsp cordial and the lemon juice in a large pan over a low heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins, or until the fruit is just starting to burst. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, put the cream in a mixing bowl and whip to soft peaks. Fold in the yogurt and remaining cordial. Set aside until needed.
- To assemble, layer up the compote and cream mixture between 4 sundae glasses or bowls, starting and finishing with a spoonful of the compote. Chill until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, crumble the amaretti and scatter over the fools.
