Introduction

Banana Cream Pie without the fat! Straight from Newfoundland, my girlfriend served this amazing dessert and I had to have the recipe. It is surprisingly simple to prepare, combining fresh bananas, with vanilla pudding, light cool whip and saltines which make a flaky, low fat pastry layer. Would work just as well with other fruits like strawberries. I used regular vanilla pudding but light pudding should work as well. Banana Cream Pie without the fat!
