Ingredients:
- 1 can of evaporated milk
- 1 package of lime Jell-O gelatin
- 1 3/4 cups of hot water
- 1/4 cup of lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/3 cup of crushed wafers
- 1 chocolate square (for shaving on top)
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Chill the evaporated milk overnight. ๐ฅ This is crucial for achieving that perfect fluffy texture. Make sure to place the can of evaporated milk in the refrigerator the night before you plan to make the dessert. |
| 2 | Dissolve the lime Jell-O gelatin in hot water. ๐ต In a large mixing bowl, pour 1 3/4 cups of hot water and add the lime Jell-O powder. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. |
| 3 | Combine lime and lemon juice. ๐๐ In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of lime juice with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This citrus blend will add an extra zing to your dessert. |
| 4 | Add lemon/lime juice to the hot water-lime Jell-O mixture. ๐๐ต Pour the citrus juice mixture into the bowl with the dissolved lime Jell-O. Stir well to combine. |
| 5 | Add sugar and stir until dissolved. ๐ฌ Gradually add 1 cup of sugar to the lime Jell-O mixture, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved. |
| 6 | Chill in the refrigerator until partly set. โ๏ธ Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and let it chill for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is partly set. The texture should be like a thick syrup. |
| 7 | Whip until fluffy. ๐ฅ Once the mixture is partly set, take it out of the refrigerator and whip it using an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. |
| 8 | Whip the chilled evaporated milk. ๐ฅ In a separate bowl, whip the chilled evaporated milk until it doubles in volume and becomes light and airy. This will give your lime fluff its signature texture. |
| 9 | Fold the lime mixture into the whipped evaporated milk. ๐ฅ๐ต Gently fold the whipped lime Jell-O mixture into the whipped evaporated milk. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; use a spatula and a gentle folding motion to combine. |
| 10 | Mix crushed wafers and melted butter. ๐ช๐ซ In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of crushed wafers with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the wafers are evenly coated with the butter. |
| 11 | Press the cookie mixture into a 9×13-inch dish. ๐ Using your hands or the back of a spoon, press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. This will form the base of your lime fluff. |
| 12 | Pour in the lime mixture. ๐ต Carefully pour the whipped lime mixture over the pressed cookie base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. |
| 13 | Shave chocolate square on top. ๐ซ Use a grater or a vegetable peeler to shave a chocolate square over the top of the lime fluff. The chocolate shavings will add a delightful contrast to the tangy lime flavor. |
| 14 | Cover and refrigerate until firmly set. โ๏ธ Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until it is firmly set. |
And there you have it! Your Lime Fluff is ready to be enjoyed. Serve this delightful dessert chilled and watch as your family and friends fall in love with its refreshing and tangy flavors. Perfect for any occasion, this Lime Fluff will surely become a staple in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy! ๐โจ
