Coconut Chia Seed Pudding with Blueberry Pear Compote (serves 4)

I used black chia seeds because that's what I had on hand so the mixture came out look gray.  Next time I will use white chia seeds.  The full fat coconut milk makes this decadent and dessert worthy.  If you want to have this for breakfast use 1 1/2 cup of So Delicious Coconut Milk
