About Fat free pudding

Fat-free pudding is a dessert commonly enjoyed in Western cuisine, particularly in North America. It is typically made with low-fat milk or milk alternatives, sugar, gelatin or cornstarch as a thickener, and flavoring agents such as vanilla or chocolate. This version significantly reduces fat content compared to traditional pudding, making it a popular choice for those seeking lighter dessert options. A typical serving provides a modest amount of carbohydrates primarily from added sugars or starches, and it may contain small amounts of protein and calcium depending on the milk used in preparation. Prepared versions often have fewer calories than standard pudding options, making it approachable for those tracking their caloric intake.
