  • Toast under grill, turning occasionally, until golden
  • Remove and leave to cool
  • Put the gooseberries, elderflower, butter and sugar in a pan and cook over low heat until the gooseberries start to soften and ‘pop’
  • Leave to cool
  • Then remove the elderflowers heads, mash the gooseberries with a fork and check the sweetness, adding more sugar if necessary
  • Whip the cream and fold through the yoghurt, add the gooseberries, (reserve a little for the top) and mix until just combined
