Carnation Milk Dessert
- 26 whole Graham Wafers Crushed Fine
- 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cups Butter
- 1 package 3 Oz Lemon Jello Mix
- 1/2 cups Hot Water
- 1 whole Lemon, Grated Zest And The Juice
- 1/2 cups White Sugar
- 1 can Very Cold Carnation Milk (evaporated Milk) 12 Ounce
- 1 can 19 Ounce Crushed Pineapple, Drained Well
- Crush graham wafers and mix with brown sugar and butter. Press approximately 3 /4 of the graham mixture into a 15 x 16 pan(9 x 13 will do as well but this makes a lot so it will be a little higher in the pan). Save the remaining crumbs for the top. Chill the crust.
- Dissolve the lemon Jello in the 1/2 cup of hot water. Let cool. Once it's cooled some, add the juice and grated rind from the lemon and the 1/2 cup of white sugar to the Jello. Mix well.
- Whip the VERY COLD carnation milk until stiff. Add the lemon mixture and the drained crushed pineapple. Pour over crumbs in pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and chill.
- This is a very old fashioned dessert that has been around a long time probably when the icebox was popular. It makes a great summer time dessert as there is no cooking and it is very refreshing on a hot summer day!! Enjoy!!
