Notes: I made this for a dinner at the farm and Grandpa really liked it a lot and told me that lime was his favorite jello. So over the years, it became a tradition to bring it to Thanksgiving, Easter and other family get togethers. I sometimes change measurements to be sure I have enough to fill the mold. It's better if the cream cheese is soft so I get that out first and let sit til ready to use.
