In a large mixing bowl, combine one can of lite coconut milk, a dash of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of water, and chia seeds.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 6 hours, but preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a creamy pudding-like consistency.
In a saucepan, add frozen blueberries and 2 tablespoons of water.
Set the heat to medium and let the mixture warm up. After about 3-5 minutes, you'll notice the blueberries beginning to burst.
Using the back of a spoon or a potato masher, gently smash the blueberries down until most of them are mashed.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to create a thick and flavorful sauce.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and allow the blueberry sauce to cool completely.
To serve, spoon the chilled chia seed pudding into jars or containers.
Top each jar with a generous drizzle of the homemade blueberry sauce.
Store any remaining portions of the chia seed pudding with the blueberry sauce in airtight jars in the refrigerator.
