Ingredients

Servings

Crust Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Graham cracker crumbs (about 3 sleeves)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 8 ounces butter (1 stick, melted)

Filling Ingredients:

  • 6 ounces lemon jello
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 24 ounces cream cheese (3 x 8oz. packages of cream cheese, softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Directions:
  2. Boil the water in a saucepan, remove from heat.
  3. Add the lemon Jello and stir until dissolved, set aside.
  4. Place graham crackers in a blender or food processor and process to fine crumbs.
  5. Melt the stick of butter in the microwave.
  6. Place the graham cracker crumbs in a 9 X 13 dish and stir in the 1/2 cup of sugar.
  7. Pour the melted butter into the crumbs and stir until well coated.
  8. Press 1/2 the crumbs evenly in the 9 X 13 dish.
  9. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, pour the heavy whipping cream in the bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. (If you have 2 mixing bowls, then place this bowl in the refrigerator - if not, place the whipped cream in another bowl, and place the whipped cream in the refrigerator).
  10. In the mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until well blended.
  11. Add the lemon Jello and mix well.
  12. Blend in the whipped cream just until mixed.
  13. Spread the filling in the 9 X 13 dish evenly and let set up for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  14. Sprinkle with remaining graham cracker crumbs.
  15. Chill at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  16. Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

  • NOTE: If the filling is thin after you fold in the Whipped cream, it's okay, it will set up, and get completely thickened in the refrigerator. Let the filling set in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before adding the reserved graham crackers for the topping.
