Delicious Summer Pudding Recipe | British Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 500 grams mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
  • 150 grams granulated sugar (adjust according to sweetness preference)
  • 1 loaf white bread (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Berries

    In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices, stirring gently.

    Taste the mixture and adjust sugar if needed.
  2. Soak the Bread

    Remove the crusts from the bread and cut it into slices. Dip each slice quickly into the berry juice, ensuring they are soaked but not falling apart.

    Use a shallow dish for easier soaking.
  3. Assemble the Pudding

    Line a bowl with the soaked bread slices, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides. Pour some of the berry mixture into the center.

    Press the bread down gently to create a compact layer.
  4. Layer and Chill

    Continue layering soaked bread and berry mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with bread on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    For best results, weigh down the pudding with a plate.
  5. Serve

    Unmold the pudding onto a serving plate, slice, and serve with whipped cream and a mint garnish.

    Drizzle extra berry juice over the top for added flavor.
