Chocolate pudding is a name which can be used to refer to a whole range of dessert dishes - all of which contain chocolate as a major ingredient or as a flavour.
In the US, chocolate pudding usually refers to the most popular type there, which is a variety of chocolate custard. This custard uses starch as a thickener, rather than eggs, and the custard is first boiled and then chilled. This chocolate pudding may be eaten as a dessert in itself or, alternatively, may be used as a filling in another dessert. The mixture consists of sugar and milk, starch as a thickener and chocolate and vanilla as flavourings.
In the UK, chocolate pudding is a steamed or baked version, which contains more ingredients than the US variety, and which is at the end rather similar to cake in texture.
