A FUN & TASTY RECIPE
Lucky's Layered Lime Dessert
By Heather Wirtz, Managing Editor of Macaroni Kid EATS
A quick and easy, leprechaun (and kid) approved dessert for St. Paddy's Day!
You will need:
- 1 box vanilla instant pudding (3.4 oz) *
- 4 tbsp powdered lime gelatin (3 oz box is more than enough) *
- 2 cups cold milk
- crushed graham crackers
- whipped topping
- sprinkles - optional
Directions:
- Combine pudding, milk and 4 tbsp of gelatin in a mixing bowl and whisk for approximately 2 minutes. Mixture will start to thicken and gelatin should be completely dissolved.
- Place in refrigerator for at least one hour, this will help the pudding thicken.
- Just before serving, layer pudding mixture, crushed graham crackers and whipped topping in small glasses; Repeat until glasses are full.
- Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
*Pistachio or any other flavor pudding can be substituted for the vanilla pudding and lime gelatin.
