Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs About two-thirds of a box
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened Let it reach room temperature
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 package (3 oz) lemon jello
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set out the cream cheese to let it reach room temperature.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the water until boiling. Dissolve the lemon jello in the boiling water and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Turn the graham crackers into fine crumbs and combine them with the melted butter in a bowl to form the crust. Press the mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
Making the Filling
  1. Whip the heavy cream until it forms fluffy peaks.
  2. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Blend in the cooled jello mixture.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain fluffiness.
Assembly and Chilling
  1. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  2. Once set, slice into squares and serve.

Notes

For easy slicing, dip your knife in warm water before cutting each piece. You can experiment with different jello flavors. Add zest from your lemon for an extra kick or swap some crust for finely chopped nuts.
