Banana Custard Filling (Dairy Free)

Based on Banana Custard Filling by Shandibear, I adjusted to be a smaller quantity and completely dairy free. It is soft, more like a pudding than a custard. Delicious banana flavor and good pudding texture. I used as a filling, but can be served in dishes as a pudding. If you don't care for hemp milk, try substituting a non-dairy milk replacement of your choice, though I recommend it be unsweetened.
