“Pudding” and “dessert” are pretty much synonymous in the UK, though it probably varies regionally. If someone said “pudding” in a dessert sense, they’re more likely to be talking about a baked dish than, say, ice cream or pie.
“Pudding” is historically also a broader term, and can also describe some specific savoury dishes, but it’s old fashioned.
I feel like it would be classified as a pudding for some reason. I watch a lot of British TV and still don’t understand their version of puddings.
