Lemon Dessert

9 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 15 graham crackers, crushed
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O(R))
  • 2 lemons, juiced and zested
  • 3/4 cup water, or as needed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix graham crackers, 1/3 cup sugar, and butter in a bowl; press half the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2
    Combine boiling water and lemon gelatin in another bowl. Mix lemon juice and lemon zest in a measuring cup and add enough water to make 1 cup; stir lemon juice mixture and 1 cup sugar into gelatin mixture until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate and allow mixture to partially set, about 30 minutes.
  3. 3
    Beat evaporated milk in a cold glass or metal bowl until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the milk should curl over slightly. Fold gelatin mixture into whipped milk until evenly mixed.
  4. 4
    Pour gelatin mixture into prepared crust and sprinkle remaining graham cracker mixture on top. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
