Preheat oven to 450° F. Fit pie crust in ungreased pie pan. Fold edges under and crimp. Prick bottom and sides of crust generously with a fork. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake 10-14 minutes or until golden brown; let cool completely.
While crust cools, prepare filling. In a medium saucepan, bring pudding mix and milk to a boil, whisking constantly until slightly thickened. Set mixture aside to cool and thicken, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Layer banana slices from 2 bananas into cooled pie crust. Spread pudding over bananas, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding, and chill for at least 4 hours.
Just before serving, prepare whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar on high speed with electric or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
To serve, top pie with whipped cream and remaining banana slices.
