   • Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.

3. Cheesecake layer:

   • Spoon or pipe a layer of cheesecake filling over the crust.

4. Banana pudding layer:

   • Whisk the pudding mix and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).

   • Add a thin slice of banana on top of the cheesecake layer, then spoon a layer of pudding over it.

5. Chill:
