Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups graham crackers, crushed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 oz Lemon Jell-O mix
- 12 oz evaporated milk, chilled
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and ½ cup sugar. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form crust.
- Dissolve Lemon Jell-O in hot water as directed on package. Let cool until slightly thickened.
- Whip chilled evaporated milk until fluffy and thick.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 ½ cups sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Fold whipped evaporated milk into cream cheese mixture, then stir in cooled Jell-O.
- Pour filling over crust, spread evenly, and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Notes
- Swap Lemon Jell-O for strawberry, raspberry, or lime for variety.
- Add a layer of fresh berries before chilling for extra freshness.
- Mix a little cinnamon into the crust for added flavor, or try a chocolate cookie crust.
- Whip evaporated milk thoroughly and let Jell-O cool slightly to ensure proper setting.
- Freezes well for up to 2 months when cut into individual slices.
