Mother's Whipped Lime Dessert

SUBMITTED BY: Cook'n G'ma

"Mother made this often this during WW II when sugar was rationed. You can use any flavor gelatin (I personally like the green lime). It is a light sweet especially good after a heavy meal or during warm weather."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored gelatin mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold evaporated milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gelatin and boiling water until dissolved. Refrigerate until thickened to the consistency of egg whites, about 1 hour.
  2. When the gelatin is thick, whip the evaporated milk in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters until thick enough to form peaks like whipped cream. Fold the whipped milk into the gelatin. Rinse an 8 cup mold and fill with the gelatin mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least until set, about 4 hours.
  3. Unmold the gelatin onto a serving dish and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Put the rest of the crumbs into a bowl and pass around the table at serving time.
