Summer Treat - Frozen bars
This was the one treat my grandma always had for us...Frozen Lemon Bars. I have branched out making Lime & Blackberry Mango frozen bars. That is what I want to share with you today.


Let's start with the lime bars as they are a little easier.
Ingredients:
1 - 3 oz Lime Jell-O
1 Cup Boiling Water
3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
1 - 12 oz can Evaporated Milk (chilled)
1 Cup Sugar (white)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Box Nilla Wafers (crushed)
Directions:
1. Whip chilled evaporated milk, vanilla and sugar.
2. Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Add lime juice.
3. Mix whipped ingredients with Jell-O mixture until combined. Put in a 9 x 13 cake pan. Spread crushed Nilla wafers on top.
4. Put in freezer 2 - 4 hours or until frozen. You can even leave them in the freezer overnight.

Now for the Blackberry Mango bars. These are a little more complicated as you are adding fruit.
Ingredients:
1 - 3 oz Blackberry Jell-O
1 Cup Boiling Water
3 Tablespoons Mango punch (Klass - dissolve in water first)
1 - 12 oz can Evaporated Milk (chilled)
1 Cup Sugar (white)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 Champagne Mango (or 1 Cup frozen mango pieces)
1/2 Box Nilla Wafers (crushed)

Directions:
1. Peel and cut 1 champagne mango into small pieces and set aside.
2. Whip chilled evaporated milk, vanilla and sugar.
3. Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Add Mango punch.
4. Mix whipped ingredients with Jell-O mixture until combined. Put in a 9 x 13 cake pan. Add mango pieces, spreading them evenly throughout. Spread crushed Nilla wafers on top.
5. Put in freezer 2 - 4 hours or until frozen. You can even leave them in the freezer overnight.

Here is a pictures of the bars in the pan.

You may need to get the bars out of the freezer 15 - 30 minutes before serving so they are soft enough to cut through.
You can use any flavor Jell-O and add fruit to the bottom. If you don't have a juice the same flavor, just don't use that ingredient.
