Coconut Chia Seed Pudding with Blueberry Pear Compote

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

Ingredients:

Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
with Blueberry Pear Compote
Pudding:
1 can full fat coconut milk
1 to 2 Tablespoons sugar  
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup Chia Seeds


Compote: 
1 cup blueberries
1 pear, peeled and diced
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar
Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice or zest

Method:

On medium heat bring the coconut milk, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a boil.  Lower the heat, add the chia seeds to the pot and stir constantly for 1 minute.  Let  mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Combine 1/2 cup blueberries with the pear, sugar, water and lemon juice in a heavy small saucepan.  Simmer over medium heat until berries burst, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup berries. Cook until compote coats spoon, stirring often, about 8 minutes.

Serve warm  or cold
