Gluten Free Summer Berry Bread Pudding

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

I love summertime! I love berries! So this recipe is a match made in heaven for me. When I first saw this recipe, I was bummed that I couldn’t have it because it calls for white bread. Yes, bread in pudding. Well….this isn’t your typical American pudding, like you are thinking. It’s more like a berry bread pudding and it is AMAZING! My gluten free summer berry pudding is also dairy free and vegan. Serve it up with some coconut whipped cream for a wonderful, light summer dessert!

I saw Carla on The Chew make a traditional version of this recipe a few days ago and I knew I had to make my own. It’ has summer berries, so it was right up my alley! You know who Carla is, right? She is a wonderful chef and one of the co-hosts of The Chew. Haven’t heard of The Chew …well, it’s a foodie’s dream for a daytime talk show, but it’s hosted by chefs (trust me, if you watch any television with chefs or cooking then you will recognize the hosts). The chefs are pretty awesome and have a wide variety of backgrounds. They are from all my favorite cooking shows and competitions over the past couple years.

Let’s get back to this “pudding”, shall we! It literally only has a handful of ingredients, is super easy, and tastes amazing. The only thing….plan ahead. It needs to chill over night to let it all set up, so make it a day in advance. Then surprise your family and friends with this beautiful dessert.

Ingredients

• 12 slices gluten free white bread (crusts removed)
• 1/2 cup strawberry jam
• 5 cups summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp sugar (more/less, as needed)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Whipped cream or dairy-free whipped cream of choice

Instructions

1. Line a medium-small glass bowl with plastic wrap.
2. Spread strawberry jam over each of the slices of bread. Line the bowl with slices of bread, jam side facing in. Use as many pieces as necessary to create a solid layer, but reserve a few slices of the bread to use on the top later.
3. Combine all the berries in a small saucepan over medium heat with lemon juice, 2 tbls sugar, and vanilla. Cook until the berries begin to burst, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Test berries for sweetness, add additional sugar if needed.
4. Pour the berry mixture into the center of the bread-lined bowl. Cover the top of the berries with the reserved slices of the bread (jam side down). Place a plate over the top, and weigh down with a book or kitchen brick. Refrigeratate overnight.
5. To serve, remove the plate, and then hold the bowl and plate together and carefully flip. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap.
6. Spoon bread pudding onto plates and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
