After tempering the yolks with the warm cream, return the mixture to the saucepan and place it back on the heat. Continue to whisk constantly.
Add the sugar substitute to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Simmer the mixture while stirring frequently until it thickens into a pudding consistency.
Remove the mixture from heat and blend in the vanilla and banana extracts.
Allow the mixture to cool, whisking occasionally for about 5 minutes.
