  1. Delicious recipe. Easy to make. Calls for items I would normally have on hand. Everyone raved about it. Nice and light -- even after a big meal. (Made it for a St. Patrick's Day dessert! Perfect!)
     
  2. SO good, I could eat the whole pan! I cant wait to try different flavored jello as well!
     
  3. Absolutely delicious! I'm going to try it with other flavored jellos too!
     
  4. I've made this a few time during the summertime. Its one of those very light and refreshing desserts everyone loves. Definitely a must try if you like lime and cheesecake!
     
  5. I found this recipe in Quick Cooking, and I didn't think I cared for jello recipes until I made this. I don't put any food coloring or maraschino cherries in mine, but something about the lime jello with cream cheese and graham crackers really makes this heavenly.
