(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The newer type of pudding is almost exclusively a dessert-type dish. The usual form is for milk with sugar and other added ingredients to be solidified by means of some gelling or structural agent, including cornstarch, gelatin, eggs, tapioca (cassava), and other starches. Forms of these include custard and blanc-mange. Related foods include gelatin desserts such as Jell-o and aspics.
More generally, a pudding may mean a dessert of any type.
