Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Super Quick Cookbook. This is what I call a sweet ending or a sweet treat. If you love banana cream pie and/or key lime pie, this treat is for you. This sweet treat is like eating key lime/banana cream pie without the fattening crust. The Greek yogurt adds creaminess to the dish and the lime juice and zest add zing. You can enjoy this quicka nd easy dish any day of the week.
