Gooseberry Cheesecake


It wasn’t until quite recently I discovered exactly what a gooseberry was. In fact it was the day I went strawberry picking, I also picked Gooseberries. Then came the dilemma of ‘what on earth do I do with gooseberries??’ After a little online research I discovered that when cooked down with a little sugar, they loose their sour grape flaour and become sweet with a zesty oomph! Perfect for trying out my first ever chilled cheesecake. Ginger nut biscuits were used for the base to add more flavour and crunch. I was happy with the flavour and ease of making chilled gooseberry cheesecake even though it had a somewhat messy appearance. This slice was served with balsamic strawberries. Yum! I will definitely be exploring the world of cheesecake in the future.
