Top with additional whipped topping.
Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Finish with maraschino cherries.

Notes
Freeze the crust for 10 minutes to firm for easier pressing.
Use a springform pan for cleaner slices.
Substitute almond flour for a gluten-free crust.
Add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the crust for extra depth.
Ripe bananas add optimal texture and sweetness.
