Lime Jello Fluff Pie

My sister gave me this recipe. I am always requested to make this pie whenever we have a pie auction at work.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O gelatin
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  cup boiling water
• 1⁄4 cup frozen limeade concentrate (undiluted)
• 2⁄3 cup cold water
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
• 1 1⁄2 ounces  whipped topping (such as DreamWhip)
• 6  tablespoons butter
• 4  cups  Rice Chex (crushed to 1 1/4 cup)
• 1⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar

Directions

1. Stir gelatin and sugar into boiling water until dissolved. Add Limeade and cold water stirring to dissolve.
2. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in about 1/4 cup gelatin mixture one tablespoon at a time until creamy. Slowly add rest of gelatin mixture beating constantly to keep smooth.
3. Chill until very thick (60 - 75 minutes); stir occasionally.
4. Prepare crust while filling is chilling. Melt butter in sauce pan. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Combine cereal crumbs and brown sugar. Stir into butter.
5. Press mixture evenly into bottom and sides of pie pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350°F and cool.
6. Prepare whipped topping according to package directions omitting vanilla. Stir into thickened gelatin until smooth. Chill until mixture mounds (about 30-40 minutes).
7. Pour into cooled crust. Chill at least 3 hours.
8. Prep time and cook time does not include "chill" time.
