1
Combine berries, sugar, and orange liqueur in a large, nonreactive bowl and stir to coat the fruit.
-
2
Let rest at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, so the mixture releases its juices.
-
3
Meanwhile, butter a 1-quart bowl and line it with enough plastic wrap so at least 6 inches is hanging off on all sides.
-
4
Press the plastic wrap into the bowl so there are no air bubbles.
-
5
Line the inside of the prepared bowl with brioche slices, cutting them as necessary to fit snugly.
-
6
(You may have to overlap the slices, and you should have a few left over to cover berries.)
-
7
Set aside.
-
8
Once the fruit has rested, pour the berries and juices into the brioche-lined bowl, pressing down so they all fit.
-
9
Top with remaining brioche, taking care to cover exposed berries.
-
10
Press firmly on the top bread pieces to flatten them and push the juices into the bread.
-
11
Cover the bread with the overhanging plastic wrap and place a plate (small enough to fit just inside the bowl) on top.
-
12
Put 6 to 7 pounds of weight on the plate (large cans of tomatoes work well), and place the bowl in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
-
13
To unmold the pudding, remove the plate, unwrap the plastic, invert the bowl onto a serving platter, and lift off the bowl.
-
14
Remove the plastic wrap and serve the pudding sliced, with whipped cream and additional berries if desired.
