Dreamy Key Lime Pie Trifle 🍋✨

Ingredients

For the base

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed biscuits)
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For the key lime filling

• 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup cold milk

For the creamy layer

• 2 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (if using fresh cream)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings

• Extra whipped cream
• Lime slices
• Crushed graham crackers
• White chocolate shavings

Steps

1. Make the crust
   Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press lightly into the bottom of a trifle dish or serving cups.
2. Prepare the filling
   Whisk sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thick. Combine both mixtures until smooth.
3. Make whipped cream
   Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form (skip if using ready-made topping).
4. Assemble layers
   Layer in this order: graham cracker base → key lime filling → whipped cream. Repeat layers until full.
5. Chill
   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (longer for better results).
6. Garnish & serve
   Top with whipped cream, lime zest, or crushed crackers before serving.
