Rosy Summer-Berry Puddings
- 4 half-pints raspberries, plus more for garnish
- 6 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Chambord liqueur
- 3/4 teaspoon rose water (optional)
- 1 1/4 cups mascarpone
- 3 tablespoons rose jam
- One 1/2-pound loaf of brioche, crusts trimmed, bread cut into twelve 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices
- Line six 8-ounce ramekins with plastic wrap, leaving 2 inches of overhang.
- In a blender, puree 3 half-pints of raspberries with 5 tablespoons of the sugar, the Chambord and the rose water.
- Strain through a fine sieve.
- In a bowl, toss the remaining half-pint of berries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- In another small bowl, combine the mascarpone with the jam.
- Using a 3 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out a round from each brioche slice.
- Dip 6 rounds in the berry puree to coat completely; place 1 in each prepared ramekin.
- Spoon the mascarpone over the rounds, spreading it evenly.
- Scatter the sugared raspberries on top.
- Dip the 6 remaining brioche rounds in the remaining puree and place in the ramekins.
- Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top, pressing hard to compact the puddings.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and for up to 24 hours.
- To serve, peel back the plastic and invert the puddings onto dessert plates.
- Garnish with raspberries and serve.
