Preparation

Step 1

Combine boiling water, lime jello and lime juice in a medium bowl. Mix and let partially set (I stick mine in the fridge for about 20 minutes and it becomes partially set enough for me)

While jello is partially setting, In a large bowl, cream cream cheese and sugar together. Set aside.

Make packet of Dream Whip up according to box directions. Mine called for 1/2 cup cold milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Follow directions and store in fridge until ready to use.

Once jello is partially set, pour into cream cheese/sugar mixture bowl and beat to combine.

Fold in Dream Whip.

Pour into graham cracker crust and sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs over the top if desired.

Cover and place in fridge until set.
