Morphology
The meaning is transparently compositional: 'frozen' (preserved by freezing) modifies 'pudding' (a soft sweet dessert), so the phrase denotes a pudding that is served frozen. This adjective‑noun combination follows a standard and cross‑linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Frozen pudding likely comes from a simple kitchen idea: cooks would take a creamy pudding and let it become frozen, sometimes adding nuts or a little alcohol so the texture stayed nice, to make a firm, cool treat. That's why the name means a 'chilled dessert' of custard or cream served frozen.
