Ingredients

• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
• 1 cup sugar
• 1-1/3 cups boiling water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Pour milk into a small metal bowl; place mixer beaters in the bowl.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, dissolve gelatin and sugar in boiling
water. Stir in lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until syrupy,
about 1-1/2 hours.

In a small bowl, combine crumbs and butter; set aside 2 tablespoons
for garnish. Press remaining crumbs onto the bottom of a 13-in. x
9-in. dish. Beat chilled milk until soft peaks form. Beat gelatin
until tiny bubbles form. Fold milk into gelatin. Pour over prepared
crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until
set. Cut into squares
