Method
 

  1. Prepare the graham cracker pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Slice the ripe bananas and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

  4. Combine instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk in a mixing bowl and whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Spread the thickened pudding over the banana slices in the pie crust.
  6. Dissolve the banana flavored jello in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved, then let cool slightly.
  7. Pour the cooled jello over the pudding layer in the pie, ensuring complete coverage.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours until jello is fully set.
