Ingredients
1½ lb Mixed red berries (strawberries, raspberries, and red currants)
1 cup Sugar
¼ cup Cornstarch
Whipped cream, for serving
Directions
Rinse and prepare the mixed red berries, removing any stems and hulls. If using large strawberries, cut them in half. Set aside.
Place the berries in a large saucepan or pot and add the sugar. Stir well to combine, breaking down some of the berries slightly to release their juices.
Bring the berry mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the berries to release their natural juices.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and lump-free, creating a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture while stirring constantly with a whisk. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes until the pudding thickens and becomes glossy and translucent.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
Divide the cooled red berry pudding among serving bowls or glasses. Top each portion with a generous dollop of whipped cream and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Comments
Red berries are seasonal and can be pricey outside summer at Charlotte stores; cornstarch and whipped cream are always available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, but expect to pay $4–6 per serving for fresh berries alone depending on the month. The 25-minute time is honest for cooking, though it glosses over thawing if you use frozen berries. This is a same-night, no-leftovers dessert that demands your attention at the stove to avoid lumping, so it suits a meal where someone can tend it while others prep the rest of dinner, not a rushed weeknight; it shines when you can time it to serve warm or chilled the same evening.
