Lime Dessert

I thought this would be fun due to its green color! My mother actually gave me this recipe who got it from my aunt who got it from. . . so I'm not sure where it originally came from!

Lime Dessert

Lime Dessert
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 10)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted margarine or butter

FILLING:

1 package (3 ounces) lime jello
1 cup boiling water
2 packages (one 8 ounce & one 3 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 carton (16 ounces) Cool Whip

Combine the first three ingredients; set aside 2 tablespoons for topping. Press remaining crumbs onto the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 inch baking dish; set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve jello in boiling water; cool. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add vanilla and mix well. Slowly add jello until combined. Fold in Cool Whip. Spoon over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
