Key Lime Cheesecake Trifle

The Key Lime Cheesecake Trifle assembles layers of almond pound cake cubes, creamy key lime cheesecake filling, and buttery graham cracker crumbs for a multi-textured dessert. Using boxed pound cake mix and key lime cheese ball mix simplifies preparation, while whipped topping lightens the cheesecake layer. Fresh lime slices add a bright garnish. The chilled trifle offers a sweet, tangy, and crumbly experience ideal for casual gatherings.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare Absolutely Almond Pound Cake with 3/4 cup melted butter and water according to package directions. Allow to cool completely, then slice entire loaf into cubes.
  2. Mix Key Lime Cheese Ball Mix with cream cheese in a medium sized bowl. Mix in the whipped topping. I used an electric mixer to help everything blend up nicely.
  3. Pulse graham crackers in a blender or food processor to make crumbs. In a small bowl, mix crumbs with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly.
  4. Begin assembling trifle: first, sprinkle 1/2 of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of trifle dish. Top with 1/2 of the pound cake cubes, followed by 1/2 of the key lime cheesecake filling. Repeat layers.
  5. Top with the leftover packet of crumbs from the box of Key Lime Cheese Ball Mix, and slices of lime. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Enjoy!
