Ingredients
  • 6 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 ounces mascarpone
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant French vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 3 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla)
  • 1 cup freeze-dried berries
Directions
  1. Slice or hull the berries as needed depending on their size.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice, mashing slightly with a spoon.
  3. Refrigerate the fruit until the rest of the dessert is ready.
  4. Meanwhile, add mascarpone to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat until smooth.
  5. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  6. Add the pudding mix and beat until incorporated.
  7. Slowly add the milk, stopping often to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  8. Cover the pudding mixture and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours and up to 5.
  9. Whip the cream to stiff peaks.
  10. Fold the cream into the chilled pudding mixture.
  11. To assemble, add the fruit to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  12. Top with a layer of wafer cookies.
  13. Spread a thin layer of pudding mixture over the cookies.
  14. Top with another layer of cookies.
  15. Finish with the remaining pudding mixture, smoothing top to finish.
  16. In a blender, grind the freeze-dried berries to a fine powder.
  17. Transfer the powder to a sieve and dust over the baking dish. Alternatively, separate the three kinds of freeze-dried berries and grind them individually, then dust over the pudding one by one to form a gradient.
  18. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours and up to 12 before serving.
