Desserts

Definition: A dessert traditionally was uncooked, as in a fresh fruit, but is now regarded as lighter and more sophisticated than a traditional pudding; Chocolate, a Mousse, light, refreshing Champagne Jelly or a Souffle.

Though many don't like to admit it, using the term pudding or dessert has connotations of class. Using "Dessert" is thought to be posher than a homely pudding. This disticntion has eroded with more traditional recipes making a fashionable comeback in recent times; many restaurants (including top end eateries) using pudding to refer to the sweet course on menus.
