Preheat the oven to 140?C, gas mark 1. Put the cream, milk, vanilla pod and seeds, and lemon zest in a pan and heat gently until almost boiling. Take off the heat, cover and set aside to infuse for 5 minutes.
Using a balloon whisk, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar until pale. Remove the vanilla pod from the cream mixture, then pour it over the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
Boil a kettle and put 4 x 200ml ramekins into a high-sided roasting tray. Strain the custard mixture into a jug, then divide it between the ramekins. Pour boiling water into the tray until it comes about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes until just set. Carefully lift out of the roasting tray and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, make the compote. Put the gooseberries and sugar in a pan; warm over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the gooseberries have begun to break down. Set aside to cool. Stir in the elderflower liqueur. Spoon a little of the compote onto each custard and serve any remaining alongside.
