FRESH LIME TRIFLE
This sounds really good -- I haven't made it yet, but the steps are quick and easy. We love key lime pie, and a lime trifle sounds like the next best thing. From a recipe card courtesy of my neighborhood Publix grocery store. Enjoy! Being diabetic, I would also try this with Splenda (instead of sugar), just to see how it turns out. NOTE: Cook/prep time DOES NOT include 2 hour chill time!

Tips:
- Use fresh limes. Fresh limes have a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lime juice.
- Zest the limes before juicing them. Lime zest adds a lot of flavor to the trifle, so make sure to zest the limes before you juice them.
- Make the custard ahead of time. The custard needs to chill for at least 4 hours, so it's best to make it the day before you assemble the trifle.
- Use a variety of fruits. This recipe calls for strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but you can use any type of fruit you like. Just make sure to use fresh, ripe fruit.
- Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
Conclusion:
This fresh lime trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this fresh lime trifle a try!
