2 cups boiling water
1 3-ounce package orange Jell-O
1 3-ounce package pineapple Jell-O
1 cup mini marshmallows
2 cups cold water
1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained (save 1/2 cup juice for topping)
2 large bananas, sliced
Topping
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 8-ounce tub whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

In a glass bowl, add boiling water then stir in contents of both Jell-O packages and the marshmallows until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Add cold water, pineapple and banana slices and stir. Refrigerate in a 4-quart or larger serving bowl for 4 hours or until firm. For topping, combine sugar, flour and pineapple juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Beat egg and whisk into mixture. Add butter and cook until mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add cream cheese, stirring until melted. Allow to cool. Fold in whipped topping. Spread on top of Jell-O once firm. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
