7-UP Salad

2 regular or 1 large lemon Jell-O
2 cups hot water
2 cups cold 7-UP
1 (2 lb. can) pineapple bits/chunks--save the juice
2 or 3 bananas
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg--slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 package dream whip or 1 cup of whipping cream
shredded cheese

**my notes**  I have only made this recipe with the dream whip so I don't know how the whipping cream substitution turns out.  Also, the recipe says shredded cheese but I have never used it.

Combine the Jell-O, hot water and 7-up in a large pan ( I usually use a 9x13 glass cake pan).  Add to the Jell-O mixture the pineapple (not the juice, save it for later), bananas and marshmallows kind of spreading  these items around in the pan to get a good mix.  Let this completely jell.  Then, in a saucepan combine 1 cup of the pineapple juice, the sugar, flour and egg.  Cook until thick.  Add the butter then cool.  Prepare the dream whip as directed on the box or beat the whipping cream.  Add this to the mixture just made.  Stir well and spread on top of the Jell-O after it has set.  Top with the shredded cheese.
