Stir gently until thickened and set aside to cool. Cut the Swiss roll into slices and line a serving dish. Sprinkle with a little sherry (optional). Beat together the cream cheese and the castor sugar, then stir in the whipped cream and vanilla. Pour over the Swiss roll and top with the gooseberry mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serves 8-10.
