This vibrant Cranberry Summer Pudding is a stunning, no-bake holiday centerpiece. It features a deep pink dome of juice-soaked bread filled with a tart and sweet blend of cranberries and mixed berries, served with a unique ginger-spiced whipped cream.
6 ounces cranberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup dark maple syrup
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
12 ounces frozen berry mix
8 ounces fresh blackberries (optional)
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons dark maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch salt
pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
1. Line a 7 to 8-inch pudding bowl with plastic wrap with overhang.
2. Simmer cranberries, 1/4 cup maple syrup, sugar, and water for 10 minutes.
3. Add frozen berries and blackberries; cook on low for 10 minutes until soft.
4. Strain the juice into a bowl and set the fruit solids aside.
5. Dip one side of bread slices into juice for 2 seconds and line the bowl (dipped side out).
6. Fill with the fruit and seal the top with more dipped bread.
7. Wrap and weight the pudding; refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
8. Whip cream with 2 tbsp maple syrup, ginger, and salt. Unmold and serve.
Remove all crusts for a smooth texture.
Weighting the pudding is essential for it to hold its shape.
If chilling for only 4 hours, dip both sides of the bread for 1 second each.
