Starwberry Lime Jello Dream Dessert Recipe

	Sparow64 / All my dishes 4 months, 4 weeks ago Came up with this a couple of weeks ago when I had a bag of limes that I wasn't using fast enough! Lots of ways to put your own spin on this easy, cold, cheap and refreshing dessert! Star early to give the jello time to chill. Prep:15m Cook:4m Servings:10	Sparow64

Ingredients

1 large box strawberry jello (6 oz)

2 c boiling water

juice and zest of one lime

juice of another lime

Ice cold water

10 oz frozen sliced strawberries in syrup; thawed

(OR slice fresh strawberries, sprnkle with 3 T sugar, and sit in fridge 12-24 hours to make some syrup)

1 package Dream Whip

1/2 c cold 2% milk

1/2 t vanilla

(OR 1 c cool whip, OR Whip your own cream to make 1 c - I like dream whip in these type recipes for the cinsistency and ease)

Directions

Allow frozen strawberries to thaw

Dissolve Jello in 2 c boiling water

Zest one lime, reserve the zest

Squeeze two limes into 2 c measuring cup

Add 2 t of the liquid from strawberries

Add enough icy cold water to make 1 3/4 c liquid

Stir into jello

Allow to chill 2-3 hours, until thick but not quite set

Drain strawberries, and reserve syrup for use as ice cream topping, etc.

Prepare Dream Whip according to package directions

Fold drained strawberries, lime zest and prepared Dream Whip into jello, and chill for another hour

**NOTES**

I always cut back on the cold water when adding fruit to jello, this allows it to set a little better, without being "soupy"

Dream Whip can be found on the aisle with the jello and pudding mixes, I use it in recipes like this because I think it holds up better than cool whip (that may be because my Mom always told me that...she was never a cool whip fan...LOL).
