Blueberry lime mold

ingredients
1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored gelatin mix
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 pint fresh blueberries

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gelatin mix, sugar, lime juice, and boiling water for one minute, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Cover, and chill for one hour, or until slightly thickened.
When the gelatin mixture is thick, whip with a whisk or electric mixer until light in color, and double in volume. Whisk in whipped topping, and fold in blueberries. Lightly grease a 5 or 6 cup gelatin mold, and fill with the gelatin mixture. Chill for 4 hours, or until firm. Carefully unmold onto a platter, and serve.

This recipe is more complex than the others I have posted. You need plenty of time and this is very difficult to do if you almost never cook. The taste is different and you kind of an aquired one. Best if let set over night. It has a strong lime flavor which almost over powers blueberrys making a different and interesting taste. Is like a sour and sweet combo.
