15 Minute Key Lime Trifle Recipe

15 Minute Key Lime Trifle www.lauraslittlehousetips.com 15 Minute Key Lime Trifle

Yum! I just love Key Lime. I love how sweet tart and alive Key Lime desserts are. This one is especially close to my heart because it is so easy to make. I tend to use this when I am short on time and still want to get that “Oh, That looks amazing” compliment.  I also love how wonderful Limes are for our health.

According to Organic Facts.net The health benefits of lime include weight loss, skin care, improved digestion, relief from constipation, eye care, and treatment of scurvy, piles, peptic ulcer, respiratory disorders, gout, gums, urinary disorders, etc. Pretty cool right?

Now this dessert is not made from scratch but it is intended to get you a beautiful and delicious dessert when your in hurry.  Of course that does not mean you can’t take your time and do it all from scratch. I have and it is amazing delicious. With all life throws at us, Sometimes fast can be a perfect go to recipe.

15 Minute Key Lime Trifle

 This recipe is only six ingredients and can be ready in about 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 16 oz frozen Sarah Lee pound cake
3 limes
1 cup milk
8 oz sour cream
16 oz Cool Whip
2 boxes powdered lime JELL-O (3 oz each)
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl whisk together your milk and sour cream.
Add to that mixture your two boxes of powdered lime JELL-O and whisk to combine.
Fold 8 oz of Cool Whip into your lime mixture reserving the other 8 oz for trifle assembly.
Put the lime mixture into the fridge to set.
Take your frozen pound cake and with a serrated knife cut off all of the dark edges.
Cut your frozen pound cake into 1 inch cubes. It’s easier to cut the pound cake when it is still frozen.
Slice two of your fresh limes for garnish.
Assembly:
This dessert is all about presentation so you want all of the layers to be even and visible. When you are adding each layer be sure to start by placing them around the edges of your trifle bowl first and then work your way into the middle.
Place 1/3 of the pound cake into the bottom of your trifle bowl. Push the pieces out to the sides.
Next add 1/2 of your lime mixture. Add another 1/3 of your pound cake pieces.
Top that with 4 oz of Cool Whip.
Add the remaining pound cake pieces.
Add the remaining half of your lime mixture.
Fill a piping bag (or a plastic bag with one end cut off) with the remaining 4 oz of Cool Whip and decorate the outside edge of the top of your trifle.
Garnish with sliced fresh limes and the zest of the third lime.

    Hi I love this! looks delicious, I will try it for sure. One question, once you mix the milk, sour cream and jello, how long do you leave it to set in the fridge? what should the consistency be? Thank you

    My dad loves key lime pie,but his favorite is graham crackers instead of pound cake. Do you think i could layer graham cracker crumbs instead? I can’t wait to make this for him in October !
