Ingredients
- 3 oz orange-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 1.5 cups graham crackers
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Step 2
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin mix in boiling water by stirring continuously for about 2 minutes or until fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add the cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Once the gelatin has cooled but is not yet set, gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. This will create a light and creamy consistency.
Step 6
Pour the gelatin and whipped topping mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly across the dish.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Step 8
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
