Time 1h10m

Yield Cuts into 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

250g all-butter shortcrust pastry
plain flour , for dusting
2 large eggs
200ml double cream
85g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g small gooseberry , topped and tailed
icing sugar , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Trim the excess pastry from around the edge, then line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pastry case for 15 mins, then carefully lift out the parchment and beans, and bake for 5 mins more or until biscuity. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla together, then strain into a jug.
  • Scatter the gooseberries into the pastry case, then pour in the vanilla custard mixture. Bake for 35-40 mins until the custard is set and the gooseberries are tender. Cool a little before serving, or cool completely and eat cold, dusted with icing sugar, if you like.
