Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 package gelatin powder
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 6 prepared mini graham cracker crusts
  • lemon wedge, for garnish
  • fresh mint leaf, for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a medium pot filled with a couple inches of water to a simmer. Set a heatproof bowl on top, making sure the bottom is not touching the water. Add the cream cheese and sugar to the bowl and stir to incorporate, then let melt.
  • Meanwhile, add the water and gelatin to a small bowl and let bloom until the water is absorbed, 2–3 minutes.
  • Once the cream cheese softens and turns off white in color, add the lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon zest. Whisk to incorporate and remove any lumps.
  • Add the bloomed gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and whisk until fully melted and incorporated.
  • Remove the bowl from the double boiler and freeze for 5–10 minutes, until cooled.
  • Remove the cream cheese mixture from the freezer and gradually fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated.
  • Scoop the filling into the mini graham cracker crusts. Freeze for 15 minutes, or until completely set.
  • Garnish with lemon wedges and mint, then serve.
  • Enjoy!
