Minty Lime Freeze

Makes 18 servings From Kraft

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar, divided
• 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
• 1 Tbsp. lime zest
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping, thawed
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
• 1-1/2 cups finely crushed pretzels
• 6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

Directions:

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.

1. LINE 9-inch round pan with plastic wrap, with ends extending over side of pan. Beat Neufchatel and 1/4 cup sugar with mixer until blended. Add dry gelatin mix, zest and juice; mix well.
2. WHISK in COOL WHIP and mint; pour into prepared pan. Mix pretzel crumbs, remaining sugar and butter; sprinkle over gelatin mixture. Cover dessert with ends of plastic wrap; use to gently press crumb mixture into gelatin mixture.
3. FREEZE 3 hours or until firm. Invert dessert onto serving plate; remove pan and plastic wrap. Let dessert stand at room temperature 15 min. to soften slightly before cutting to serve.
