Trifle Time



We were so lucky to spend the past week in Key West, soaking up the beautiful sunshine. As I said in my previous blog post, I tested all the available Key Lime Pies on the Island. I think we actually may have done this! The best in my opinion was The Thirsty Mermaid's rendition. It was a personal sized whole pie, the filling was light and airy compared to the Key Lime pies that I've grown accustomed to.

So now that I'm home, I decided to adapt that style with a Southern twist, trifle style. I learned a long time ago that you can turn pretty much any dessert into a trifle and 9 times out of 10, its better then the original. If you should ever mess up a cake, cookie, bread or pie recipe, turn it into a trifle! Works every time! 

Enjoy!

Combine cake mix with butter, eggs and water/lime juice mixture. Bake according to box in 8" or 9" cake pans. Cool cakes completely and cut each cake into two pieces, creating a total of 4 round layers.

To make filling: in a small bowl, mix lime juice with condensed milk, set aside. In a large bowl, beat whipping cream until it peaks. Fold in lime/milk mixture.
