Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Lime-flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 oz Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers (optional, for topping)
- 1 tsp Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly, but do not let it set completely.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lime juice, and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to incorporate. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture as you fold.
Transfer the lime fluff mixture to a serving dish or individual dessert cups. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top for a slight crunch and decorative touch.
Chill the lime fluff in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest for extra flavor and visual appeal.
