In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Add the pudding mixture and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.
Assemble the Cheesecake:

Spread the remaining cheesecake filling over the banana layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
