  1. To prepare, preheat the oven to 160 degrees and lightly butter a large pie dish.
  2. In a small saucepan over a low heat, gently bring the milk, cream and vanilla extract to the boil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar with the egg yolks until light and fluffy, before stirring in the warmed mixture, followed by the breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
  4. Pour into the pe dish and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the mixture starts to rise, then set is aside to cool.
  5. Raise the oven temperature to 190 degrees.
  6. In a new mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then slowly whisk in the caster sugar until fully combined, resulting in a smooth meringue consistency.
  7. Gently warm the jam for a minute or two in the microwave or over the stove, then spread it over the main base.
  8. As the final layer, spoon over the meringue, sprinkle it with a smattering of fresh berries.
  9. Finally, place the pudding back in the oven for a few more minutes until the meringue turns golden brown. Serve with an extra drizzle of double cream.
