Directions
Creating Blueberry Chia Pudding is a simple and rewarding process. Follow these steps to prepare this delightful dish:
-
Cook the Blueberries: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries with a splash of water over medium heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they cook down into a tremendous blueberry compote. The berries should soften and release their juices, creating a lovely syrupy mixture. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix the Base: While the compote cooks, take a large mixing bowl and add the chia seeds, full-fat coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until well combined. The chia seeds will start to absorb moisture, which is key to creating that signature pudding texture.
-
Combine: Once the blueberry compote has cooled a bit, add it to the bowl with the chia mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This step not only adds flavor but also a beautiful color to your pudding.
-
Chill: Transfer the mixture into jars or bowls and place them in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours. This waiting period allows the chia seeds to swell and create a tremendous pudding-like consistency.
-
Serve: Once set, take out the pudding. Serve it in small bowls or jars, and feel free to top with additional blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite nuts for added texture and flavor.
