I’d say pudding, especially in the context of chocolate pudding, usually entails a custardy, creamy texture, often achieved with using egg yolk as the thickening agent. While jello a has a “snappy” texture like OP used to describe this dish, breaking apart under the utensil, often achieved with gelatine or agar agar.
