1/4 cup sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup melted butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
4 cups cool whip frozen whipped topping, completely thawed, divided
2 -3 medium bananas (don't use very ripe bananas)
1 (135 g) package Jello gelatin, banana cream pudding and pie filling mix (do not use the instant, it must be the cooked kind)

Remove the crust from the fridge; spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
Return back to the fridge.
(At this point, the dessert may be left covered in the fridge overnight, and the last stage may be finished the next day if desided) Prepare the pudding mix on top of the stove in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, (be careful not to scotch the bottom) or it can be prepared in the microwave, (my prevrence is the microwave, as I always seem to end up with a scortched saucepan bottom) Leave sit in the fridge for 1 hour to thicken and cool.
After 1 hour,slice the bananas into pieces.
Remove the dessert from the fridge; place the banana slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Gently spread the prepared pudding over the bananas.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use ripe bananas.
If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
To make the banana cream filling, be sure to use cold milk and cream. This will help the mixture thicken properly.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can beat the cream and pudding mixture by hand using a whisk.
Be sure to chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
