Morphology
The meaning is directly composed from 'liver' (the edible organ) and 'pudding' (a savory, dense dish), i.e. a pudding made from liver. This literal, compositional relation is common cross-linguistically (similar to liver sausages/puddings), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Liver pudding comes from old home cooking where people mixed ground liver with fat and spices into a soft loaf called a pudding, then cooked it like a sausage. So the name directly describes 'a sausage made from liver'.
