Jell-O Lemon Pie
Description
Aside from baking the crust, this creamy, decadent, no-bake lemon pie just requires Jell-O and time to chill ahead of serving.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
•
1 cup boiling water
•
1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
•
1 (14 ounce) can chilled sweetened condensed milk
•
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
•
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened; press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, combine boiling water and gelatin powder. Let dissolve and cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Do not let set.
5
Combine cooled gelatin mixture, condensed milk, cream cheese, and lemon zest and juice in a bowl; beat until well mixed, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour filling into cooled crust; refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
