Lime Jello Pie
Description
This Lime Jello Pie starts by dissolving lime gelatin powder in boiling water, then adding cold water to cool it. The gelatin mixture is combined gently with thawed Cool Whip to create a fluffy filling that sets firmly in a prepared graham cracker pie crust. The pie requires chilling for at least six hours or preferably overnight to achieve the proper firmness.
The graham cracker crust adds a slight crunch and sweetness that balances the tangy lime flavor. Garnishing with whipped cream and lime slices enhances both presentation and brightness. This pie is served cold and is suitable for warm weather or festive occasions as a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces lime gelatin mix
- ½ cup water boiling
- 1 cup water cold
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed (1 tub)
- 1 inch graham cracker pie crust prepared
- Whipped Cream for garnish
- lime for garnish, slices
Instructions
- Whisk the jello mix and boiling water until fully dissolved. Whisk in the cold water.
- Fold the cool whip into the jello mixture. until well combined.
- Refrigerate pie filling in the bowl for 30 minutes. Then mix again with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the jello mixture to the pie crust and spread so the top is flat.
- Chill the pie for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing. I like to top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and lime slice.
