One bite of this sumptuous banana cream pie, and you won't believe it weighs in at less than one-third the amount of fat found in more traditional banana cream pies. By substituting low-fat milk and cornstarch for more typical ingredients like eggs and cream, you will forgo the fat without sacrificing flavor.
