This cool and creamy dessert also tastes great with cherry or orange gelatin instead of the lime.

Ingredients

  • 6  squares low-fat honey graham crackers, finely crushed (1/2 cup)
  • 2  tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1  teaspoon sugar
  • 1  package (4-serving size) sugar-free lime-flavor gelatin
  • 3/4  cup boiling water

  • 1  container (8 oz) frozen fat-free whipped dessert topping, thawed
  • Key limes or limes, cut in wedges (optional)

Directions

I don't know how you can call this healthy. Whipped dessert topping? The first four ingredients of the Cool Whip Free are: Water, Corn Syrup (read: sugar), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (read: trans fats), High Fructose Corn Syrup (read: sugar again). Sugar Free Jello? JELLO, GELATIN DESSERT, SUGAR FREE, LOW CALORIE, LIME INGREDIENTS: Gelatin, Adipic Acid (for Tartness), Disodium Phosphate (Controls Acidity), Maltodextrin (from Corn), Fumaric Acid (for Tartness), Contains Less than 2% of Artificial Flavor, Aspartame (Phenylketonurics Contains Phenylalanine) and Acesulfame Potassium (Sweeteners), Salt, Blue 1, Yellow 5, BHA (Preservative). I personally think it would be MUCH healthier to eat a 1/2 serving of the real thing than ingest all these artificial "food" ingredients
