1Summer Pudding
For something lighter but still authentically British, Summer Pudding is a must-try. It’s made by lining a bowl with slices of white bread soaked in berry juice, then filling it with a mixture of stewed summer fruits like raspberries, blackcurrants, and redcurrants. Once chilled and set, it’s inverted onto a plate, revealing a jewel-toned dome of fruity deliciousness.
This dessert became popular in the early 20th century as a refreshing alternative to heavier puddings during warmer months. Its balance of tart and sweet flavors makes it an elegant choice for afternoon tea or picnics.
Try it at: Upscale London restaurants or countryside inns during berry season, typically between June and August.
