Steps:
- Combine the heavy cream, condensed milk and lime zest in a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat until the mixture just barely reaches a simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the lime zest to steep in the cream for about 20 minutes.
- Place the cream back over medium-low heat and cook until it just barely reaches a simmer, about 3 minutes.
- Put the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Pour the warm cream over the chips and let sit for about 2 minutes. Whisk the mixture until smooth; if there are lumps, microwave the mixture in 15 second intervals, stirring in between intervals, until smooth.
- Stir in the lime juice. Stir in the butter. Cover with plastic wrap so that the plastic lays directly on the surface of the ganache. Refrigerate until the ganache is firm, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the graham cracker crumbs on a plate. Scoop up 1 tablespoon of the ganache filling and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Roll the ball in the graham-cracker crumbs until completely coated, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ganache. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- To make the graham cracker crust, you can use a food processor or a rolling pin. If you're using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the crumbs. You want them to be fine, but not too powdery.
- When making the key lime pie filling, be sure to whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling when you add the hot cream.
- To make the whipped cream, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the whipped cream to hold its shape.
- When assembling the trifle, be sure to layer the ingredients in the correct order. Start with the graham cracker crust, then the key lime pie filling, then the whipped cream, and finally the lime zest.
Conclusion:
This easy key lime pie trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this trifle a try!
