This is a very tasty and refreshing dessert that is severely lacking in texture. According to my notes, the version that mom made in the 1970's had the addition of a drained can of crushed pineapple, which gives the dish more substance. I also cut back the sugar to 3\/4 cup and upped the lemon juice to closer to 1\/2 cup. I noticed after I made this that Mom's version used a large box of Jello - a full 6 ounces rather than the 3 ounces that this recipe calls for. Since I am trying to replicate the version that she made, which was my all-time favorite dessert, I changed my copy of this recipe for next time. \u00a0<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-09-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"kimmeee"},"reviewBody":"
I was disappointed with this recipe. Followed the recipe to a t.. I tried to get peaks in the evaporated milk but it just wasn't happening. (Had it in the fridge for 2+ hours.)

I've made a similar version for a long time. I put the bowl of milk and the beaters into the freezer and let it not quite freeze, then beat it hard until stiff peaks form. Then fold into the chilled lemon Jello mix.

I watched the video, printed the recipe and was very disappointed with the outcome! To me, it is a total waste of all ingredients.

To the reviewer that asked - sugar free gelatin works fine. I dissolve the gelatin in only 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1\/3 cup honey (use no sugar), the lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. lemon rind, & a dash of salt, then chill until syrupy. I just put my can of evaporated milk in the fridge overnight so it is good and cold and whips well. I have not tried it with fat-free evaporated milk. I usually just press graham cracker crumbs in my pan and do not bother with the butter at all, so you could certainly reduce the amount of butter that you use, or you could just butter your pan lightly and then press in the plain crumbs.

I was asked to bring a diabetic-friendly dessert to a dinner party. This recipe is terrific and will definitely go into the repertoire! I added the finely grated zest of 1\/2 a lemon and also increased the lemon juice to 1\/3 cup as per other reviewers. I'm going to make it with less sugar, but it's easy and delicious.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"03\/10\/2013 14:35","GUID":"e10f5c26bfe24c409f8d3dc1711999a1","MemberId":6366970,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mothra7","SubmittedDate":"03\/10\/2013 14:35"},{"Comment":"

First time eating or making this. I was looking for something light and cool and this hit the spot.

A wonderful light and refreshing dessert.<\/p>
I've been making this same recipe for many years.<\/p>
My mom found the recipe and starting making it in the 50's.<\/p>
I still have Mom's old had written recipe card which bears this exact recipe.<\/p>
It was exciting to see the recipe posted.<\/p>
This was my dad's very favorite dessert and it was always his first request for dessert.<\/p>
Even though both of my parents are now gone, I make it on my father's birthday each year to celebrate his memory.<\/p>
A loving family tradition.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2011 21:14","GUID":"0bb08d116149404088d7f7de90d2db87","MemberId":5099866,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"dtrmom","SubmittedDate":"04\/07\/2011 21:14"},{"Comment":"
My mom made this for years and passed the recipe along to me. I have in turn passed it on to my daughter-in-law. It is an excellent, light summertime dessert. I have used both the fat-free evaporated milk and sugar-free gelatin and they both work well. Not sure about the Splenda though.<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2011 19:29","GUID":"CF8DD1E2DD5846DEAF4B5ED0B2F8E41A","MemberId":238420,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"1weezie1","SubmittedDate":"04\/07\/2011 19:29"},{"Comment":"

This is an old standby of mine. To the reviewer that asked - sugar free gelatin works fine. I dissolve the gelatin in only 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1\/3 cup honey (use no sugar), the lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. lemon rind, & a dash of salt, then chill until syrupy. I just put my can of evaporated milk in the fridge overnight so it is good and cold and whips well. I have not tried it with fat-free evaporated milk. I usually just press graham cracker crumbs in my pan and do not bother with the butter at all, so you could certainly reduce the amount of butter that you use, or you could just butter your pan lightly and then press in the plain crumbs. This is also great with lime gelatin and lime juice.<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2011 14:23","GUID":"57105e77480b47ac9f5b5e8f73ba130d","MemberId":5812631,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jicecube","SubmittedDate":"04\/07\/2011 14:23"},{"Comment":"
This sounds yummy, but was wondering if anyone has tried this with fat-free evaporated milk and sugar-free gelatin, with Splenda replacing the sugar? This would cut out most of the fat and carbs, both of which I shouldn't have.<\/p>","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2011 13:33","GUID":"4faa02d99c5a4f0ba8f2928f3cd2172d","MemberId":3618273,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cbachtel","SubmittedDate":"04\/07\/2011 13:33"},{"Comment":"
