Ingredients
½ cup Boiling water                                                                   
⅓ cup Raw cashews - washed                                                    
1 cup Pineapple juice                                                                 
50ml Maple syrup, honey or other sweetener of choice                 
2 ½  level Tbsp Cornflour                              
⅛ tsp Salt                                                                                  
¼ tsp Vanilla                                                                               
2 cups Fresh strawberries - sliced (can be frozen)    


Method
Place cashews and boiling water in blender and process smooth.
Add remaining ingredients and again blend until smooth.*
Pour into saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until mixture thickens.
Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly onto surface and refrigerate over-night.
Stir before serving into individual bowls and garnish as desired.

*At this point the mix can be frozen until needed. Thaw and cook as above.

Options
Parfaits - Layer yogurt and muesli into glasses; garnish with whipped topping, a fresh strawberry, mint leaf, etc.

Blueberry Yoghurt - Substitute blueberries for strawberries and replace vanilla with ¼ tsp almond extract.

N.B. I buy strawberries when they are plentiful and cheap, then prepare and freeze, but don’t be afraid to experiment - try other fruits, or even canned, in juice and well drained.
