Photo: Lime Cream Trifle Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1 lime, zested
- 1 (5.5-ounce) package Maria crackers, or 1 (4.8-ounce) package graham crackers
- 1 lime, for garnish, optional
Directions
Blend the condensed milk, evaporated milk and lime juice in a blender until smooth.
Spoon 1 cup of the lime cream into the bottom of a 6-cup glass trifle dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the lime zest. Then arrange 1/3 of the crackers over the cream, breaking them as needed to form a single layer. Repeat to make 2 more layers, ending with a layer of cream and a sprinkle of lime zest. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until set, at least 2 hours, or overnight.
To serve, thinly slice 1 lime and arrange the lime slices in an overlapping layer on top as garnish, if desired.

I followed the tips from other reviewers and the trifle turned out great. It was the perfect after-barbecue dessert for the Fourth of July party we attended. And in addition to rave reviews from the guests, the trifle inspired a proposal of marriage from my host. YMMV ;

I found the trick to getting the consistency thick enough! As mentioned before, I used 2/3 cup lime juice. I blended it on high for 6 minutes, then--- let it sit in the blender at room temperature for 20 minutes. This is the key!! It will still be runny when you are done blending it, but after it sits at room temp for a while, it will thicken it up and you are ready to layer! Then I did let it chill in the fridge for a few hours. Next time I will make 2 batches- it only made a few layers in my big trifle dish.
