Lemon Icebox Pie

Recipe from JoAnn T.'s recipe collection

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs, about 40 wafers
1/4 cup melted butter
1 envelop unflavored gelatin
1 3/4 cups water divided
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (Not evaporated)
1 3 ounce package or 6 tablespoons pre-sweetened lemonade-flavor drink crystals

Combine crumbs and butter; press firmly on bottom and up the side of the 9 inch pie plate. Chill.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water, and let stand 1 minute. Over low heat, stir until gelatin dissolves and set aside.
I medium mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, remaining 1 1/2 cups water and lemonade crystals; mix well. Stir in gelatin mixture. Pour into prepared crust.
Chill at least 3 hours or until set. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

I wonder how much easier it would be to make this with lemon jello, instead of the gelatin and lemonade crystals? I am going to look at alternative recipes and add that in. It all depends on what you might have in the cupboard or easy access to.
