Budyń

In Poland, the term budyń is mainly used to refer to various homemade or store-bought creamy puddings. They typically consist of sweetened milk that is thickened with cornstarch or gelatin, and additionally infused with chocolate, vanilla, or various fruit flavors.

Although these puddings are easily prepared at home, many convenience stores sell pre-packed powdered mixtures which are quickly cooked with milk. Budyńs can be enjoyed hot or well chilled, and are usually served in individual bowls, garnished with whipped cream, fruit preserves, or fresh fruit.
