Great idea, I'm going to buy a pound cake, vanilla instant pudding, cool whip, walnuts and a lime to make a trifle--zesting the lime on top!

Plus, the Cocounut Lime tart recipe says that Lemon curd (or was it lime curd?) could be substituted for the Coconut Lime Sauce. So, I would be willing to bet that any recipe that calls for Lemon or Lime curd, you could sub in our sauce.
Oh, and don't people put Lemon Curd on scones? I bet this is really good on scones (or anything you would put jam on).
Here is one of my fave recipes with Lemon curd. I had thought about trying these with the new sauce, but just using limes as the note on the bottom says.
Lemon Cream Phyllo Tartlets
1/2 cup purchased lemon curd
3 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/4 cup chilled whipping cream
Combine lemon curd, lemon juice and lemon peel in medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Beat cream in small bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into lemon mixture. (Filling can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)
Spoon lemon cream into phyllo shells, dividing equally, and serve.
*****For lime cream change to lime curd, lime juice and lime zest.****

I'm afraid to try this because I don't like coconut.

Slightly off topic - but you should get some unsweetened coconut. The extremely sweet stuff is only that way because it's been heavily processed with lots of sweetener. Dried, unsweetened coconut is chewy, and tastes more like coconut milk. We love coconut milk, and coconut, and coconut oil, and coconut cream...but not coconut water or the sweetened coconut stuff. I'm sort of a coconut fanatic.
But back to your question...it's hard to tell, because the lime gives it a tartness so it's not JUST sweet....it would just be a matter of trying it to see how it is with your personal taste. I like it with just the cream cheese, because that also keeps it from being too sweet. I don't think I'd like it so well with a cheesecake filling, because again, it would become too sweet...

:balloon:This sounds amazing! Please post your recipe, once you've tried it!
One question tho....are you planning to make the vanilla pudding as usual, or blend the mix into the lime sauce?? I wasn't sure where you were going with this....if you're blending it into the sauce, you may even want to look at other pudding flavors, such as cheesecake, pineapple, or even coconut....??? What do you think??
Anyway, I hope it's yummy, 'cause it sure sounds like it would be!! And, layering the trifle, you may even want to consider adding slices of lime around the edges of the bowl, for effect....hmmm....!!!
