Ingredients

7 slices thin white sliced bread trimmed of crusts
2 cups (450g) frozen summer fruits defrosted
2 tbsp sweetener
3 tbsp water
frylight

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place the berries and water in a saucepan over a low heat and cook for 3 - 5 minutes until the berries have softened and started release their juices. Add the sweetener and stir. You want the berries to stay intact but you also want them to release juice as that is what soaks into the pudding. Take off the heat and set aside.
Spray the inside of the bowl with a couple of sprays of Frylight! This just makes it easier to remove the pudding from the bowl. Alternatively, you can use cling film to line the bowl but I have found that the spray oil works well.
Trim the crusts off the bread. I have found that the easiest way of lining the bowl with the bread is to cut out a smallish circle in one of the slices of bread for the bottom of the bowl. Set aide the rest of that slice of bread to use for the top of the pudding. Use the other 6 slices to line the edges of the bowl - most of the slices can be cut into 2 and the remaining 2 slices can be cut into triangles to fill in any gaps.
Spoon the fruit into the bread lined bowl and layer the top of the pudding with the off cuts of bread. Place a large disc of parchment paper on top of the pudding and pour on baking beans or lentils to weight it down. Alternatively, if you have saucer that is small enough to sit inside the bowl, place this on top of the pudding and place a tin can on top to weigh it down. Put in the fridge for 6 hours (or overnight if you can)
To turn out the pudding, remove the weight and run a knife around the top edge of the pudding bowl to loosen the bread from the bowl. Place a serving plate on top of the bowl and turn upside down. The pudding may need a small very gentle shake to release it from the bowl. Serve topped with fresh berries and low fat cream.
