A couple possibilities:

There is an indian/persian/afghan dessert that's called ferni/phirnee/fereni/etc. It's made with corn starch or rice starch, and is usually flavored with pistachios and cardamom. I've had a few versions with noodles in it as well (rice noodles?) The texture is like soft jello.

There is an English dessert called blancmange (it is not french!). Brought to England by Arabs (and therefore probably related to phirnee), it's basically the same thing, but almond flavored. However, I have seen a chocolate blancmange recipe:

PS. This is one of my favorite desserts! Not too sweet or fatty, subtle and very very good.
