  • 12 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) lemon gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
  • 2 large firm bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in the ginger ale, bananas and reserved pineapple. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Refrigerate until firm.
  • For topping, combine sugar and flour in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk in reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount into egg; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until a thermometer reads 160° and mixture is thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, beat cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into custard. Spread over gelatin. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. Yield: 12 servings.

Tip

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Releasing a gelatin salad or dessert from its mold is easy if you follow these simple steps.

Made this a snack time treat for my daughters preschool class. The teachers asked to keep the rest for the afternoon class. I used regular cool whip for the topping. I didn't want to make the egg one for the itty bitties.
