Ingredients:

• 2 cups boiling water, divided
• 1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
• 2 cups ice cubes, divided
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, liquid drained and reserved
• 1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup reserved pineapple juice
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 large bananas, sliced
• 1 cup whipped topping

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup water and lemon gelatin. Add 1 cup ice cubes, stirring until melted. Stir in pineapple. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray; refrigerate until set but not firm.
2. Repeat with the orange gelatin, remaining water and ice. Stir in marshmallows. Pour over lemon layer; refrigerate until firm.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
