Prepare the crust
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Brûlée the bananas
Slice the two medium bananas for brûlée and place them on a heatproof surface. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top of the banana slices. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Assemble the pie
Spread a layer of sliced fresh bananas over the cooled crust. Pour half of the whipped cream mixture over the bananas, smoothing it out. Add another layer of sliced bananas, and top with the remaining whipped cream.
