Ingredients

  • 500g mixed berries, blackcurrants and redcurrants
  • 3 tbsp elderflower cordial
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 8 slices crustless sliced white bread
Serve with;
  • Extra berries
  • cream

Step by step

  1. Tip 500g mixed berries, blackcurrants and redcurrants, 3 tbsp elderflower cordial and 125g caster sugar into a pan. Gently heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
  2. Sieve the hot fruit over a bowl.
  3. Line four 200ml pudding basins with clingfilm, then with crustless sliced white bread (8 slices) briefly dipped in the fruit juice – use circles for the bases (and lids) and fingers for the sides. Fill in any gaps with smaller pieces of bread.

  5. Chill overnight. Turn out and dust with icing sugar. Serve with extra berries, cream and mint leaves.
