Equipment

Mixing Bowl
9 x 13 Pan
Measuring Cups
Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 3 ounces package lemon Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese light
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons lemon juice less if you don’t want to much lemon
  • 1 can Carnation Evaporated milk well chilled
  • Graham crackers crushed

Instructions

  • In a heatproof bowl, dissolve the lemon-flavored gelatin (Jell-O) in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • Allow the gelatin to cool until it's slightly thickened. You can speed up this process by placing it in the refrigerator for a short time.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, pour the evaporated milk. Using an electric mixer, beat the evaporated milk until it becomes fluffy and has a whipped cream-like consistency.
  • Gently fold the thickened lemon Jell-O into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Now, fold the whipped evaporated milk into the cream cheese and Jell-O mixture. Carefully fold it in to maintain the light and fluffy texture.
  • Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with crushed Graham crackers. You can use enough Graham crackers to create a solid layer.
  • Spread the cream cheese and Jell-O mixture over the Graham cracker layer. Ensure it's evenly distributed.
  • Sprinkle another layer of crushed Graham crackers on top of the filling.
  • Place the dessert in the refrigerator to chill. Allow it to set for a few hours or until it's firm. This could take 3-4 hours or more, depending on your refrigerator temperature.
  • Once the dessert has set and is firm, it's ready to be served. Cut it into squares and serve chilled.
