Lemon Dessert
- 15 graham crackers, crushed
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O(R))
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 3/4 cup water, or as needed
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 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.
