Method

Put the gooseberries, sugar, 2 tbsp cordial and the lemon juice in a large pan over a low heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins, or until the fruit is just starting to burst. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
Meanwhile, put the cream in a mixing bowl and whip to soft peaks. Fold in the yogurt and remaining cordial. Set aside until needed.
To assemble, layer up the compote and cream mixture between 4 sundae glasses or bowls, starting and finishing with a spoonful of the compote. Chill until ready to serve.
Just before serving, crumble the amaretti and scatter over the fools.
