Sugar free and Low Fat Fruit Custard Recipe

I usually make this dessert when I want to get a quick and lip smacking last course on a heavy meal and when I say heavy I just don't mean on the tummy I mean in the kitchen as well. Desserts are very very fat friendly and yes of course sugar friendly too, but does that mean we health watchers have to be left behind in the temptation food area ? No not on my watch you don't have to, so I bring you one of my own low fat, no sugar recipe for a lovely dessert for a lunch or a dinner. And for those who think banana is fattening seriously one doesn't harm you especially when its divided in 4 for 4 servings.
