Gooseberry-Melon Frozen Dessert

Make the jam: combine gooseberries, orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over low heat, then remove from heat and let cool.

Line a mold with plastic wrap.

Place a waffle sheet on the bottom—thin sponge cake or cookies work too.

Whip cream with condensed milk, fold in the berry jam (or gooseberry mixture with condensed milk and whipped cream), and spread the berry-cream layer into the mold.

Top with another waffle sheet.

Blend the melon until smooth. Whip cream with condensed milk, add the melon purée, and mix well.

Pour over the waffle layer and scatter small cubes of juicy nectarine or peach on top.

Add one more waffle layer.
