wire rack.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in 2
cups whipped topping. Arrange half of the banana slices in crust;
top with half of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers.

In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand

Pour over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with reserved crumb
mixture. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.
