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.

Time 4h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold evaporated milk
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dessert didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dessert was a disappointment. The lime flavor was weak and the texture was grainy.

I found this dessert to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think it would be better with less sugar.

This dessert was a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a great dessert.
