Creamy Custard Sauce - Lightened

Submitted by SusieQusie

"From recipe #205712 - albeit Twissis posted the tastiest recipe but for right now, that version doesn't fit my diet plan. Until such time as I can return to the land of the _normal_ eaters. ;-), I'll _suffer_ along with this sugar-free, lower fat recipe. This could be considered _medicine_ for dieters - when you get crazy from lack of sweets, dose yourself with a couple tablespoons of this lovely sauce. Repeat as needed. Serving size= 2 ounces or 4 tablespoons"
