Ingredients

  • 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lemon gelatin
  • 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free orange gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1-1/2 cups cold water
  • 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened DOLE® Crushed Pineapple in 100% Pineapple Juice
  • 3 medium firm bananas, chopped
  • 1/3 cup miniature marshmallows
  • Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2-1/2 cups whipped topping

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve lemon and orange gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Cover and refrigerate until partially set, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup.
  • Fold the bananas, marshmallows and pineapple into gelatin mixture. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar substitute and flour. Gradually stir in pineapple juice mixture. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted.
  • Cool to room temperature without stirring. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over gelatin. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.

Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

Tasty treat for the summertime. Very simple to make and the toping is a nice change of pace from just whipped topping.
