Well, in the eggless chocolate pudding recipe that I always use (with
cornstarch), it says that once the pudding has thickened, you're supposed to
cook it for another 15 minutes to get rid of any chalky taste.

BTW, once it's done, one can put a small amount of that pudding in the
freezer, in a bowl, for two hours - by then, it's not quite hard and it's
about as good as ice cream. (I never understand why almost all ice-cream
recipes call for an ice-cream maker!)

The ice cream maker incorporates air. You can do the same with a blender
but it's very time consuming and you can only do a small amount at a time.
Freeze your mix in ice cube trays. When frozen, put in the blender. Put
back in the ice cube trays and refreeze. Do this 2 or 3 times.
