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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to incorporate. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture as you fold.

Step 6

Transfer the lime fluff mixture to a serving dish or individual dessert cups. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top for a slight crunch and decorative touch.

Step 8

Chill the lime fluff in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest for extra flavor and visual appeal.
