I was going to make a cold pudding when you know who says: "but it's cold, and I want something hot".
Oh bloody great, so I chucked this together and it turned out rather well.
In a powerful blender pop a large handful of cashews (or almonds) in with 2 tablespoons of custard powder and a heaped teaspoon of cornflour (I used that as I ran out of custard powder) 2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds, (or ordinary ones), 2 tsps of manuka honey, 1 peeled ripe banana.
Boil the kettle and put a large mug of vanilla soya milk in the microwave.
Slosh in a splash of hot water in the blender and blend for about 5 mins to create a thick paste and for the chia to take up the moisture.
Once the soy milk is scalded and almost boiling you can froth up if you like (as i did - to make it lighter), and slosh in some soy or oat cream, if you have some.
Pour the hot soya milk into the blender and blend till thoroughly mixed.
Pour into bowls and it should lightly set, a bit like an egg custard. I served ours over some sliced banana. (I am trying to get rid of some over-ripe bananas) It set beautifully. I had some left over and popped in some bowls. No idea if it will stay set when put in the fridge. I'll let you know tomorrow.
It got the thumbs up from you know who. He who is notoriously hard to please, so it can't have been that bad!
