Oh yummmmmmm. I used crust #96877 instead of a shortbread crust and I used all fat free/sugar free type products for the rest of the ingredients. (Fat Free/Sugar Free pudding; skim milk (though a special thick kind we get from a local dairy); fat free cool-whip) I found that it worked out beautifully. The cinnamon addition was lovely and I found myself eating spoonfuls of the pudding mix right out of the crust before it had set! (Using a fresh spoon every time in order to not be double dipping!) This was excellent. Though to be honest, I may just simply make it as a parfait and layer the pudding with the banana.
