Vickie McDonough's Aunt Mildred’s Ice Box Cake

1 small pkg. strawberry jello
3/4 cup boiling water
scant 1/2 cup sugar
whipped topping
vanilla wafers
bananas

Mix jello, water, and sugar well. Cool a little. 

Add:
1 small can crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Scant 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Fold in 3/4 of a small or medium container of whipped topping. (Leave final 1/4 to smooth over the top when done.) 

Line an oblong cake pan with vanilla wafers. Top with a layer of sliced bananas. (You can add as many as you like – about 3-4 medium bananas) Spoon on Jello mixture and even out across the top. Spread on remaining Cool Whip to make top pretty.

Cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated. Serves 12-16 people.
