Morphology
The meaning 'a sweet, creamy dessert made with chocolate' is directly and compositionally derived from 'chocolate' (the flavor/ingredient) plus 'pudding' (a soft dessert). There is no idiomatic shift or metaphorical extension here and the compound structure is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The name chocolate pudding comes from putting together chocolate, the main flavor, and pudding, a soft sweet dish. So, it simply means a 'sweet, creamy dessert' you can eat with a spoon.
