Morphology
The meaning 'a pudding made from carrots' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'carrot' (the ingredient) with 'pudding' (a sweet, soft dessert); the noun–noun composition indicates the type of pudding. This ingredient-based compound pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Carrot pudding comes from a simple kitchen idea: grated carrot cooked with milk, sugar and spices until it becomes a soft pudding. One popular form is the Indian sweet called 'gajar ka halwa', and because the dish is made this way the name simply describes a sweet 'dessert' made from carrots.
