Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Lime gelatin mix (3 oz package)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Grated lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the lime gelatin mix.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the gelatin mix and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 0.5 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and lime juice until well blended.
Pour the mixture into a 4-cup gelatin mold or a decorative bowl.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the mold is fully set.
Once set, unmold the gelatin by running a knife around the edge, dipping the mold briefly in warm water, and inverting it onto a serving platter.
Optional: Garnish the mold with grated lime zest and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
