Remove from the heat and push the gooseberries through a sieve to make a pureé. Leave the pureé to get cold. Whip the double cream until stiff, then mix with the pureé. Pour into a plastic container and freeze for several hours, stirring once or twice to distribute the cream.
Bring the ice-cream out of the freezing compartment and into the refrigerator about half an hour before serving. Enough for four good helpings.
