Pudim, pronounced (poo-gene), is not pudding; despite what it might sound like. It can best be described as a Brazilian version of Flan which has a softer texture. The difference is that Pudim does not use gelatin and it is much more like a stiff custard. Pudim is probably the most commonly eaten dessert after basic cakes and Brigadeiro in Brazil, and it is inexpensive and quite simple to make. There are several varieties of it, from Chocolate or Brigadeiro flavored Pudim, to a cooking sheet baked type of Pudim called Pudim de Pao... or Bread Pudim... which is nothing like the Bread pudding it might make you think of. You'll find this dessert in every restaurant, cafe and home.
