KEY LIME PIE DIP

Steps:

• A Few Tips Before You Get Cooking: Temperature plays an important role in this recipe. The Jell-O mix needs to be boiled then cooled.
• The pudding needs to be made with the cooled Jell-O mixture and chilled sweetened condensed milk. Remember to chill the sweetened condensed milk ahead of time!
• The cream needs to be ultra-chilled to be whipped.
• You'll want to finish this within the first day or two because whipped cream does start to separate.
• Making the Dip: Place 1/2 cup of the water in the freezer.
• Bring the remaining 1/2 cup of the water to boil in a small saucepan and whisk in lime Jell-O mix until completely dissolved.
• Remove from heat and let come to room temperature.
• Transfer to the freezer for a few minutes just until cool. Do NOT let it solidify.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Jell-O mixture, chilled water, chilled sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla pudding mix until well-combined and thickened, about two minutes.
• Transfer to the fridge until completely set, about 10 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form.
• Divide in half and fold one half into the lime pudding until evenly combined.
• Whisk powdered sugar into the remaining half of whipped cream.
• In a large glass bowl or trifle dish, layer lime mousse, graham crackers, and whipped cream until you run out.
• Dip whatever you'd like in it, or eat it with a spoon.
• Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
• For dippers, try graham crackers, sugar cookies, shortbread, Teddy Grahams, and more.
