1 3 ounce package green Jello
1 8 ounce package cream cheese
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup whipping cream or evaporated milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 lime, for garnish, optional
Dissolve Jello in 2/3 cup boiling water. Be sure Jello crystals are completely dissolved. If needed reheat Jello and water in microwave for 30 seconds to finish dissolving crystals. Add 2/3 cup cold water and lime juice. Soften cream cheese and beat until smooth. Gradually beat Jello into cream cheese. Place bowl in refrigerator to partially set mixture, mixture will resemble thick cake batter. Add sugar to cream and stir to dissolve. Whip cream until firm peaks form. Fold whipped cream into partially setting Jello mixture. Spoon into cups, dishes or parfait glasses. Garnish with a twist of lime or lime zest. Refrigerate 1 to 4 hours to finish setting Jello.
