2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons flour
1 cup whipped cream or 1 can Carnation Evaporated milk - VERY cold. I put the Evaporated milk into the freezer for about 1/2 hour.

Directions:
Dissolve Jell-o into one cup boiling water. Put into freezer.

Use a mixing bowl and blend cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and flour together

While whipping, pour Jell-o slowly into the cream cheese mixture then fold in the whipped cream.

Pour into a 9" X 12" pan or two store bought crusts.

Great Grandma Ashton made this recipe for many family gatherings.
I only make it on a special occasion (for Uncle Mike's birthday) because it takes a long time.
