Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
Description
The pudding base is made by mixing lite canned coconut milk, vanilla extract, water, and chia seeds. As the mixture chills for several hours or overnight, the chia seeds absorb the liquid and swell, transforming the liquid into a custard-like textured pudding. The use of coconut milk gives the pudding a subtle tropical flavor and creamy consistency without dairy.
The accompanying blueberry sauce is prepared by heating frozen blueberries with water until the berries burst and release their juices, then simmering gently to thicken the sauce. This sauce is cooled before serving to provide a cool, fruity contrast to the richer pudding base. The combination offers a balance between the lightly sweetened creamy pudding and the bright, fresh berry topping.
The pudding and sauce are stored together in jars, making them convenient for individual servings and easy refrigeration. This dish suits those looking for a dairy-free texture and a way to incorporate fruit into a satisfying snack or light dessert.
