Lime Chiffon Dessert Recipes

LIME CHIFFON SQUARES

Steps:

• For the graham crumb base Mix together the butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Lightly grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared pan. For the Lime Chiffon layer Combine boiling water and jello, stir until dissolved. Add sweetened milk and lime juice. Whip the cream to soft peaks, not too firm. Fold in marshmallows and whipped cream. Spread over prepared base and chill until the jello has set These can also be served frozen; in fact many people prefer them frozen and that's almost always how I serve them. They defrost pretty quickly, so I always store these in the freezer anyway.
