Cheesecake
600g hob nobs
200g unsalted butter, melted
1200g cream cheese such as Philadelphia
600ml double cream
400g elderflower syrup (buy a quality ready made one) or reduced down
300g caster sugar
Gooseberry compote
500g gooseberries, fresh, top and tailed
150ml elderflower cordial
50ml water
50g sugar
Crush the biscuits until a fine crumb and then mix with the butter. Spoon the biscuit mix into a 24in cake tin and press evenly into the base. Place in the fridge whilst you make the cheese mix.
Whisk the cream to form stiff peaks. Beat the cordial and cream cheese and sugar together and add in whipped cream, pour onto the biscuit base
Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
Heat the cordial sugar and water, add the gooseberries and cook very gently until they are tender but still hold their shaped, remove from the heat and cool.
To serve carefully cut a slice of the cheesecake and spoon a spoonful or 2 of compote over each slice. Add a scoop of the best vanilla ice cream on the side and serve.
