2 (3-oz.) pkg. Jell-O™ lime-flavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 cup Key lime juice

45 graham cracker squares
2 tablespoons Key lime juice
2 tablespoons water

Not a fan. The crust was dry and the filling was too tart. The raspberry sauce was the only saving grace.

This dessert was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! I used fresh raspberries for the sauce and they really made it pop. The key lime filling was also very flavorful. Will definitely make again!
