How to Make Fresh Lime Trifle
- Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or Splenda to taste) and blend until smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup (60ml) water.
- Whisk in 2 large egg yolks.
- Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 15-18 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Stir in the zest of 2 limes.
- Allow the lime curd to cool completely in the refrigerator.
- In a separate medium bowl, place 2 cups (473ml) whipped topping.
- Gently fold in the cooled lime curd until just combined.
- Layer one-third of the desired pound cake (approximately 2 cups, cubed) in a trifle dish or clear serving bowl.
- Top with one-third of the lime mixture.
- Repeat layers twice.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
