Instructions: Line a 1-quart charlotte mold with plastic wrap and trim 1 whole bread slice to fit the bottom of it. Arrange the halved slices, overlapping them slightly, around the sides of the mold and press the bread round into the bottom.

In a saucepan combine 4 cups of the Blackberries, the sugar, and the framboise, bring the mixture to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring, and simmer it, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until the Blackberries are crushed and the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the Blackberry mixture cool.

Spoon one third of the Blackberry mixture into the mold and top it with 1 slice of the remaining bread, trimming the bread if necessary. Spoon the remaining Blackberry mixture into the mold and top it with enough of the remaining 3 slices of bread, cut into pieces, to cover the top completely.

Cover the mold with a round wax paper cut to fit the inside of the mold, top the wax paper with 1 round of stiff cardboard cut to fit the inside of the mold, and weight the pudding evenly with a 2-pound weight. Chill the pudding overnight.

Just before serving, remove the weight, the cardboard, and the wax paper, run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the pudding, and invert a large round serving plate over the mold. Invert the Blackberry pudding onto the plate, remove the plastic wrap, and garnish the pudding with the whipped cream and the additional Blackberries.
