This is the lightest, fluffiest, most refreshing recipe! It was served at the church's baby and wedding showers when my sisters and I were growing up. We loved it then; it's just as wonderful now.

Time 3h45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 graham crackers, crushed
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
1 cup boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
2 lemons, juiced and zested
¾ cup water, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • 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.
