Vanilla pudding is a creamy dessert made primarily from milk, sugar, and cornstarch, with vanilla extract giving it its signature flavor. Originating in European cuisine, this smooth treat is now enjoyed worldwide for its mild and comforting taste. While homemade versions may include egg yolks for added richness, many modern recipes or store-bought versions are simpler and rely on starches for thickening. Vanilla pudding provides a source of calcium and protein from its milk base, making it a modest choice for bone health. However, it’s typically high in sugar, which can be a concern for those monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Its versatility allows it to be paired with fruits or layered in desserts like trifles or parfaits, offering an opportunity to boost its nutritional profile with additional wholesome ingredients. As with any indulgence, moderation is key to enjoying this classic dessert.
