Vanilla pudding is a classic, creamy dessert made primarily from milk, sugar, cornstarch (as a thickener), and vanilla flavoring. It has a smooth, rich texture and a sweet, comforting vanilla taste. The pudding is cooked on the stovetop until thickened, then chilled to set, resulting in a luscious, custard-like consistency.
