01 Step

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime gelatin mix and boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved. (Approximately 2 minutes)

02 Step

Recipe View Refrigerate the gelatin mixture until it thickens to the consistency of raw egg whites. This usually takes about 1 hour. Check periodically to ensure it doesn't set completely.

03 Step

Recipe View While the gelatin is chilling, ensure your evaporated milk, bowl, and beaters are thoroughly chilled. This is crucial for achieving a light and fluffy whipped consistency.

04 Step

Recipe View Once the gelatin has thickened, whip the chilled evaporated milk in the chilled bowl with the chilled beaters until stiff peaks form, similar to whipped cream. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

Recipe View To unmold, briefly dip the mold in warm water. Invert onto a serving dish. If it doesn't release immediately, gently tap the mold. Sprinkle the top with a portion of the crushed vanilla wafers.

08 Step

Recipe View Serve immediately, passing the remaining crushed vanilla wafers in a bowl for guests to sprinkle on their individual servings.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lime zest to the gelatin mixture before refrigerating.
If you don't have a mold, you can set the dessert in individual glasses or a trifle bowl.
Different brands of gelatin may vary in setting time, so adjust accordingly.
For a dairy-free version, experiment with chilled coconut cream instead of evaporated milk.
Ensure all tools (bowl, whisk/beaters) for whipping the milk are chilled to get the best volume.
