Individual Summer Puddings image

We served these individual berry-filled puddings with small scoops of sorbet, but they would be equally delicious topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

Time 4h20m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups mixed fresh berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries (about 3 pints)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
18 thin slices white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, cook berries and lemon juice over medium heat until berries release their juices but still hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Stir in sugar and salt; cook until dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain sauce; reserve whole berries. Let cool.
  • Line a cupcake tin with plastic wrap, pressing it into cups. Using cookie cutters or an inverted glass, cut out six 2 1/4-inch rounds and twelve 2 3/4-inch rounds from bread.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon sauce into each cup; add 1 tablespoon berries. Top with smaller bread rounds; add another tablespoon each of sauce and berries. Make another layer of bread, sauce, and berries; top with remaining bread rounds. Press down firmly with the bottom of a glass.
  • Fold plastic over; cover with a baking sheet. Weight with a heavy skillet. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  • To serve, pull up on plastic wrap, and gently unmold each pudding onto plates; drizzle with sauce.
