Ok I know it is like several months late but here is the fabulous
dessert I promised. I made this for
Father's Day and it was gone. I mean
gone before everyone got some and there were more desserts there than just
mine. It looks super pretty so it is
very inviting and it tastes superb! I can not take credit for the recipe, it came
from the Nilla Waffer box a year or two ago.
Just a heads up I did follow the recipe exactly the 1st two or three
times I made this and then I decided to change it a bit to make it easier. (I will tell my changes as I go, nothing
major just a lazy I mean easier way.)
Ok here is the list of ingredients and supplies you will
need.
- 3oz box of lemon jello (not the pudding the jello)
-1 cup boiling water
-1 cup of ice
-8oz pack of cream cheese (softened)
-8oz container of cool whip
-1/4 cup sugar
-2 tsp lemon zest (optional- I didn't have any this time so
I didn't use it and I could not tell a difference)
-48 Nilla Waffers (I did not count mine out I just used what
I needed. I also think any plain cookie
would work for this, shortbread, or the Pepperidge Farm chessman)
-1/3 cup Seedless raspberry preserves
-fresh berries for topping
-small bowl, large bowl, 8x8 pan, electric mixer, spoons,
cling wrap (optional)
Ok put your lemon jello in the small bowl and dissolve it in
the hot water stirring for 2 minutes.
Then add your cup of ice. (It can
be cubes I just put enough cubes in a 1 cup dry measuring cup to fill it
up.) Stir until the ice dissolves. Now set that to the side and cream your sugar
and cream cheese together using a mixer.
Once it is combined add your lemon jello and mix it. Then stir in 2 cups of your coolwhip. This is also the point where you would add
your lemon zest but I didn't have any so I worked without it.
{The original recipe which you can find online, has a
specific number of cookies for you to put around the sides and on each layer it
also has you line the pan with cling wrap so you can invert it. I did not follow these steps. It is just as pretty in the pan. I just turned their sequence of steps around
so my dessert would be the way theirs was once it was inverted.}
Ok so now place your cookies in the bottom of your pan. Then poor half of your lemon mixture on top
of your cookies. Now top with another
layer of cookies. Next heat your preserves in the microwave for about
15 seconds on high. If it has not melted
it some then do it a little longer.
Spoon your preserves on top of your cookies and kinda mash it out a bit
with the spoon so it will spread some. Now pour the rest of your filling on top. Then if you would like add a few cookies to
the top and decorate with some fresh berries.
Now just cover it and refrigerate for a few hours and then enjoy!!
If you want the original recipe just go to the website for
Nilla Waffers here.
*Disclaimer* Again this is not my recipe it belongs to
Nabisco. Please visit their website if
you want to see more. *They have changed the recipe a bit from the one I found on the side of the box. That is why some of the measurements are a bit different.
