Cashew, Chia and Banana Custard

This Cashew, Chia and Banana Custard is a great dessert or snack for the warm spring days we have been having. It’s made with Cashew milk, which has become a regular item on our menu over the last few weeks. Since my daughter has had to go off high salicylate foods we have had to find alternatives to almond milk, coconut milk and other dairy products. Cashew milk seems to make a nice alternative. It’s creamy texture lends itself well in smoothies, custards and puddings. Cashew milk is easy to make and keeps in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days. But trust me it won’t last that long.
