YOU'LL NEED

*gooseberry

*water

*sweetener

*coconut cream

*dairy free yogurt

TIPS

*I replaced some of the cream with yogurt for a lower fat version.

*For best results fold the fruit gently with the whipped cream instead of mixing.

*It looks prettier if you make fruit and whipped cream layers.

*You can incorporate other fruit or mixture of them, a variety of fruit works well, such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, kiwis and rhubarb.

*Sprinkle some biscuits, shortbread or granola on top of the fool.

*Add a splash of brandy, rum or liqueur for grown-ups.
