Ingredients
  • cups  cookie crumbs ginger snaps, or graham crackers
  • 1/2  cup  butter  melted
  • 1/4  cup  sugar
  • 16 oz. whipped topping thawed and divided
  • 1 8oz. package cream cheese softened
  • cup  powdered sugar
  • small package lime jello
  • water listed on Jello Package
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • cups  milk
Instructions
  1. If baking the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a food processor, add the cookies of choice and the granulated sugar. Process the cookies and sugar until they turn to crumbs. Stream in the melted butter into the top of the food processor, and continue mixing until well combined.
  3. Press the cookie crumbs into the bottom of 9x13 inch pan. This crust can either be baked, or a no bake crust. For a baked crust: bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Let it cool completely. For a No Bake Crust: simply refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
  4. Using an electric mixer, mix together 2 cups whipped topping, cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and spread over the cooled crust.
  5. In a new bowl combine the lime jello powder, lime juice with the hot water (as directed on the package). Mix well to combine. Add in the milk and continue mixing until combined. Refrigerate in the bowl for 5-10 minutes to thicken. Spread this layer over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve.
  7. Right before serving, top with remaining whipped topping, and garnish with a slice of lime. Enjoy!
  8. You can refrigerate and cover any leftovers.
