EASY KEY LIME PIE TRIFLE
I came up with this easy Key lime pie trifle because I adore Key lime pie in all its forms. It's a refreshing treat on a hot summer day, and since it can be made ahead, it's ideal for entertaining, too. The pie is easier to cut when still a little frozen, but be sure to let the pieces finish thawing before starting the recipe. -Barbara Moorhead, Gaffney, South Carolina

LIME CREMA
Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until well blended and creamy.
- Use at once or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh limes. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not have the same brightness of flavor.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
- If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use a large glass bowl or even a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- To make the trifle ahead of time, assemble it up to 24 hours before serving. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
