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.

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)
05 Step
Recipe View Gently fold the whipped evaporated milk into the thickened lime gelatin, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, which can deflate the mixture.
06 Step
Recipe View Rinse an 8-cup mold with cold water. Pour the gelatin mixture into the mold. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, until fully set.
07 Step
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.
