1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups whole milk or a non-dairy alternative

Cook the Blueberries:
In a saucepan, combine blueberries,1/4 cup of water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Thicken the Blueberry Mixture:
Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water. Add this to the bubbling blueberries and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Once done, set aside to cool.
Prepare the Pudding Base:
In another saucepan, heat the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the remaining sugar, stirring until it dissolves. Let it warm but avoid boiling.
Layer and Chill:
Pour half of the pudding mixture into serving dishes, spoon the blueberry sauce over, and top with the remaining pudding. Create a marbled effect by gently swirling the layers. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
