Key Lime Pie Trifle

A creamy and refreshing twist on the classic Key Lime Pie, layered beautifully in a trifle with graham cracker crust, lime filling, and whipped cream!

Ingredients:

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

• Zest of 2 limes

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

• 1 package (10 oz) graham crackers, crushed

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• 1 cup fresh whipped cream (for topping)

• Lime slices and extra zest for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lime Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.

• Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the filling is smooth.

2. Make the Whipped Cream:

• In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

• In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

4. Layer the Trifle:

• Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the lime filling, spreading it evenly.

• Repeat the layers with the remaining lime filling and whipped cream.
