Ingredients

1 1/2 cup blackberries
3 1/2 cups raspberries
2 1/2 cups strawberries hulled
1 1/2 cups blueberries
10 slices brioche bread crusts removed
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
homemade whipped cream to serve

Instructions

In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, combine the blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries (reserve the blueberries), sugar, and water. Heat over medium-high until boiling. Lower the heat and simmer for three to four minutes, allowing the berries to release their juices but keeping the berries still intact. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Toss in the blueberries. Stir to combine.
Meanwhile, line a 32-ounce bowl (rim about 8 inches in diameter) with two layers of plastic wrap, making a cross and leaving enough overhang to cover the pudding later. Cut a circle of bread to fit the base of the bowl and place it inside. Line the sides with long pieces of bread, ensuring there aren't any gaps by cutting and adjusting as needed. Reserve enough bread to cover the top of the pudding once the fruit filling is added.
Set aside a few tablespoons of the berry juice for later. Gently pour the berries and the remaining juice into the bread-lined bowl. Then top with the remaining bread pieces.
Cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Place a flat plate on top and add a heavy weight to press down the pudding. Refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the weight and plate, and unwrap the pudding to expose the top. Place a serving plate on top and gently invert the pudding. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap. Pour the reserved berry juice over any pale areas as needed.
Serve with whipped cream.
