Lime Cloud Squares


Fans of key lime pie will jump for joy when they try these dessert squares, made with sugar-free JELL-O, low-fat sweetened condensed milk and lime juice.

What You Need
1-1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs, divided
1/4 cup butter, melted 3/4 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (0.3 oz.) JELL-O Lime Flavor Sugar Free Gelatin
1 cup ice cubes
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, so!ened
1 can (14 oz.) low-fat sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup lime juice
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping

Make It
Line 9-inch square pan with plastic wrap, with ends of wrap extending over sides. Reserve 1 Tbsp. graham crumbs. Mix remaining crumbs with butter; press onto bottom of prepared pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Add boiling water to gelatin mix in small bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add ice; stir 2 min. or until thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Beat Neufchatel in medium bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in milk, then lime juice. Add gelatin; mix well. Whisk in 1 cup COOL WHIP. Pour over crust.
Refrigerate 6 hours or until firm. Cover with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving; sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Use plastic wrap handles to remove dessert from pan before cutting into squares.
