2 (3 ounce pkg.) of lime Jell-O (or equivalent flavored gelatin)
2 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon shredded lime peel.
1/3 cup lime juice
1 quart vanilla ice cream (softened)
1 (9 to 10 inch) baked pastry shell (cooled)
Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water until all crystals disappear. Stir in peel and lime juice.
Add softened ice cream by spoonfuls stirring until melted. Chill in bowl till mixture mounds slightly when spooned. Pour into cooled pastry shell.
Chill until firm. Top with whipped cream. Nana's Tip: If ice cream is frozen firm, place into a suitable size bowl. Microwave to slightly melt ice cream.
