Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz lemon-flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 8 oz crushed pineapple (drained)
- 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish to create the crust. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, dissolve the lemon-flavored gelatin in the boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes to ensure it is fully dissolved.
Add the cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple into the gelatin mixture.
Refrigerate the gelatin mixture for approximately 30 minutes, or until it thickens slightly but is not fully set.
Fold the whipped topping into the thickened gelatin mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the gelatin mixture over the graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
