Prep time: 30 minutes

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

  • 1 Package (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Container (8 oz) frozen fat-free whipped dessert topping, thawed

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar. Press crumb mixture in the bottom of a 2-quart square baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

  2. In a large bowl, combine gelatin and the boiling water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.

Spoon filling over chilled crumb mixture.

  4. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours or until filling is firm. To serve, cut into squares and top with lime wedges, if desired.
