PezDispenser is the data type.

You create custom data types by creating custom class files with the information to be contained about the data type in the class file. (e.g. PezDispenser.java)

New class files should look like this:

package <PACKAGE_DIRECTORY>

class PezDispenser {
     // Insert java code here
}

Objects are instantiating by calling the "new" keyword followed by the constructor method of your object. If you didn't define a constructor in your class file, then the default "no-argument constructor" will be provided to you by default.

So if we deconstruct your question, here is the format for instantiating a new object in Java utilizing the no-argument constructor:

<Class> <variableName> = new <Class>()
