To make a key lime trifle, you will need to layer key lime flavored cake, whipped cream, and key lime curd in a trifle bowl. Start by crumbling the cake into the bottom of the bowl, then add a layer of whipped cream followed by a layer of key lime curd. Repeat these layers until the bowl is full, and top with additional whipped cream and crushed graham crackers for garnish.
Yes, you can use any type of cake you prefer for the trifle. However, using a key lime flavored cake will enhance the key lime flavor in the trifle. You can also use pound cake, angel food cake, or even brownies for a unique twist.
You can typically find key lime curd in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. If you cannot find it, you can make your own by combining key lime juice, sugar, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan and cooking until thickened.
Yes, this trifle can be made ahead of time. However, it is best to assemble it no more than 24 hours before serving to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy. You can also prepare all the individual components in advance and assemble the trifle right before serving.
Yes, you can make a healthier version of this trifle by using low-fat or fat-free whipped cream and substituting the key lime curd with a homemade version using low-fat ingredients. You can also use a sugar-free or gluten-free cake as the base for the trifle.
