Junket is the brand name of a product used to make a milk-based dessert, made with sweetened milk and rennet, the digestive enzyme which curdles milk. To make it, the milk mixture (usually with sugar and vanilla) is heated to approximately body temperature and the Junket tablet is mixed in to cause curdling. Warmer or cooler temperatures will inactivate the rennet. The junket is then allowed to set in a refrigerator until it forms a loose pudding. Junket is often served with a sprinkling of grated nutmeg on top.

Junket tablets are a common source of rennet for home cheese makers.
