Family Favorite: Lemon Whip Salad

 Today I am going to share a traditional, family-favorite!

We love this Lemon Whip Salad; growing it up no Thanksgiving was complete without it. 

It's light, airy, and perfectly lemony. I'm not much one for Jell-o "salads" but this is my favorite, and it is fun to make--I usually make it for dessert. ;)

Give it a go--you won't regret it. :)

 

Lemon Whip Salad

1 small lemon Jell-O                                               

¾ c. boiling water                                         

1 c. sugar       

¼ c. lemon juice  

1 can chilled evaporate milk  

zest of one lemon                                        

1. Dissolve Jell-O in hot water; add lemon juice and lemon zest. Allow the Jell-O to partially set.
2. Whip the evaporate milk with an electric mixer and slowly add the sugar.
3. Fold the Jell-O into the whipped milk.
4. Line the bottom of a pan or glass bowl with crushed graham crackers. Pour Jell-O mixture over and let set in the refrigerator for a few hours. If desired, you can layer the crackers and Jell-O and put some crushed crackers on top.
