Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 8 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a bowl, gently mash half of the mixed berries with honey and lemon juice to release juices but keep some berries whole.
- Line a 6-cup pudding basin or deep bowl with plastic wrap, leaving overhang to cover later.
- Cut bread slices into circles to fit the basin and line the base and sides with bread pieces, slightly overlapping.
- Spoon a layer of berry mixture over the bread inside the basin.
- Continue layering bread and berries, finishing with a layer of bread on top.
- Place a small plate on top to weigh the pudding down and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- To serve, invert the pudding onto a serving plate, remove plastic wrap, and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, soak the bread slices lightly in berry juice before layering. This pudding also pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of vanilla yogurt or a sprig of fresh mint.
