hen berry season comes around, I practically hear W trumpets announc- ing the fruit’s arrival at the local market. I am reliably ready to pounce — eager to pile the plump beauties onto my yogurt bowls, work them into salads, blend them into smoothies and bake them into pies and muffins. When I first encountered this classic UK dessert — what Britons call a “pudding” — I was enthralled. It is stunning, with a cascade of berries mingling with layers of bread soaked and pressed in the fruit’s brilliantly hued juices. The dish has the quality of an elegantly plated, berry-soaked sponge cake, but besides the fruit, it is made with little more than humble slices of bread. The usual recipe involves heaps of sugar though, so I decided to take a stab Summer berry-banana puddings at a better-for-you version and was thrilled with the result. 2 very ripe medium bananas berry-banana mixture among the The key twist is to take Summer Berry-Banana 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ramekins and top each with another advantage of the inherent Puddings Steps round of bread.
