Pudding is a creamy dessert made from a blend of milk, sugar, and thickening agents like cornstarch, gelatin, or eggs. Originating in European cuisine, it has evolved into several varieties, from the rich custards of France to simplified instant mixes found globally. Flavors include vanilla, chocolate, or caramel, with fruit or spices sometimes added for variety. Nutritionally, pudding is a good source of calcium and energy due to its dairy base, but it can be high in sugar and fat depending on the recipe or brand. Some versions use alternative sweeteners or plant-based milks to cater to dietary preferences or restrictions. While pudding can be enjoyed as an occasional treat, moderation is key to balancing its indulgent nature with health-conscious eating. A favorite in many cultures, pudding remains a comforting dessert enjoyed across generations.
