For this particular type of diabetic chocolate desserts, one would need 1 cup of evaporated skim milk, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar replacements, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 sliced bananas, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate.

Once all ingredients are prepared, mix a quarter of the cup of milk with the sugar replacement and chocolate in a pan, on top of a double boiler. The remaining milk would then be put in the freezer to chill.

As the mixture is simmering, stir until the chocolate melts, then pour a portion of the melted chocolate on the two egg yolks, which would both in a separate bowl by now, and beat.

Once mixed, pour the egg-chocolate mixture on top of the main chocolate mixture. Stir the mixture until it thickens, then let it completely cool.

Add the already cooled chocolate mixture into the stiffly beaten milk, along with the vanilla and banana slices.
