Milky pudding is typically made from milk, sugar, and a thickening agent such as [[cornstarch]] or [[gelatin]].


Milky was first introduced to the Israeli market in the 1980s. The product was an instant success, quickly becoming one of the most popular desserts in the country. The original Milky pudding is made with a base of vanilla-flavored pudding, topped with a layer of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
