junket definition and meaning

What is "junket"?

Junket is a dessert that is made from milk, sugar, and rennet, a natural enzyme that causes the milk to curdle and thicken. The mixture is heated and stirred until it thickens, and is then chilled until it is set. Junket can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as vanilla, almond extract, or fruit puree, and can be served plain or topped with fresh fruit or whipped cream. It is known for its light and delicate texture, which is a result of the gentle curdling process. Junket is a popular dessert in many parts of the world, particularly in the UK and the US, where it is often served as a sweet and refreshing treat. It is a simple dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages, and is often served during special occasions and celebrations.
