Steps:
- 1. Chill the can of evaporated milk until cold
- 2. Heat 1 3/4 cup of water and dissolve the gelatin in it. Chill the gelatin until partially set.
- 3. Whip the gelatin until light and fluffy by hand. Add the lemon juice and sugar slowly into the mixture.
- 4. Whip the chilled milk and fold into the lemon mixture.
- 5. In a 9x13 pan line the bottom with the vanilla wafer crumbs reserving some for the top. Pour the lemon gelatin mixture over the crumbs. Top with the remaining crumbs. Refrigerate until cold and firm. Cut into squares to serve
