4. When the fruit is nearly cold, place in the food processor and beat to a thick puree. sieve the puree into a bowl in order to remove all the pips.

6. Mix in the coconut cream and soya cream.
7. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and then fold into the puree using a metal spoon.
8. Fill a large pretty bowl or dish with the elderflower and gooseberry cream and leave it to chill in the freezer for about 30 - 40 minutes.
9. Once it is starting to set, cover the dish with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and chill it for at least 4 more hours in the refrigerator.
10. Once the elderflower cream is completely set, decorate it with little sprigs of fresh mint.
11. At the last moment, dust the elderflower and gooseberry cream with sifted icing (confectioners') sugar.
