steamed pudding

Moist cooked sweet

A steamed pudding is a dense, moist dessert cooked by steam rather than baked in dry heat.

The batter or dough sits in a covered basin over simmering water, producing a tender, cake-like texture.

Traditional British examples include Christmas pudding and treacle pudding.

Steamed puddings are typically served warm with custard or sauce.
