Minty Lime Freeze

photo by:kraft

A cool cocktail translated into a refreshingly zesty dessert. This silken treat has mojito flavors but no alcohol, so it's really more mocktail than cocktail.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Add 1/2 tsp. rum extract with gelatin mix, zest and juice.

Food Facts

You will need 1 large or 2 small limes to get 1 Tbsp. zest and 1/4 cup juice. If you can't get enough juice from the limes, add enough bottled lime juice to get the desired measure.

Delicious--Try this with orange jello or lemon jello and zest.

This was great very refreshing, although I wish I would have chopped the mint leaves very very fine. Otherwise my whole family loved it.

Quick, easy and elegant. I love this pie. Made it tonight and we really enjoyed it. I was also fun to go out to my garden and pick the mint for it. I actually had everything in my pantry!
