Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 3 hrs 45 mins


• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• pour gelatin mixture into prepared crust and sprinkle remaining graham cracker mixture on top. chill at least 3 hours before serving.
