Banana Cream Pie
A decadent looking pie that has 39% less calories than the traditional recipe. No flavor is lost, just calories!
Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups Equal® Spoonful*
7 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups 2% milk

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
