Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sponge cake or ladyfingers
- 120 ml Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 500 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Fresh lime slices
- 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lime juice, and lime zest. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Prepare a trifle dish or individual dessert cups for layering. Begin by breaking the sponge cake or ladyfingers into bite-sized pieces and arranging a layer at the bottom of the dish.
4. Spoon a generous layer of the lime custard mixture over the sponge cake layer, spreading evenly.
5. Add a layer of the whipped cream over the lime custard, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
6. Repeat the layers (sponge cake, lime custard, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
7. Garnish the trifle with fresh lime slices, a sprinkle of lime zest, and fresh mint leaves for a decorative touch.
8. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.
