2 pints blackberries
2 pints raspberries

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1-pound loaf brioche or challah bread, cut crosswise into 1" slices
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

This pudding was a disappointment. The sponge cake was dry and the berries were undercooked. I won't be making this recipe again.

I've tried many berry pudding recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The pudding is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The berries are plump and juicy, and the crust is flaky and golden brown.

Not worth the effort. The pudding was bland and the berries were mushy.

The pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the berries were delicious. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This pudding brought back memories of my childhood. My grandmother used to make a similar recipe and it was always a family favorite. I'm so glad I found this recipe so I can share it with my own family.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, using gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk, and it turned out great! It's a versatile recipe that can be adapted to different dietary needs.

This pudding was a labor of love, but it was worth every minute. The end result was a stunning dessert that was both delicious and visually appealing. I received so many compliments from my friends and family.

Not a fan. The sponge cake was dry and the berries were too tart. I think I'll stick to my usual berry cobbler recipe.

I was skeptical at first about the combination of berries and sponge cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pudding was light and airy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The berries added a burst of freshness and flavor.
