Ingredients
Key Lime Pie Filling:
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- Zest from 1 lime
- ½ cup key lime juice (bottled is fine)
Other Key Lime Trifle Layers:
- 1 ½ cups OMG! Sweet & Salty Pretzels, crushed
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Lime wedges or zest
Instructions
- Prep the pretzel layer, so it has time to cool before adding it to the key lime trifle. For this, you’ll need to crush the sweet sourdough pretzel nuggets in a bag or food processor.
- Place the crushed pretzels on a sheet tray. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the pretzels. Bake on 350 for 5 minutes.
- Make the no-bake key lime pie filling. Using a stand mixture or handheld electric mixer, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until it has stiff peaks. Transfer to a clean bowl.
- Add cream cheese, condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest to the mixing bowl and whip together until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream. Place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before layering the key lime trifle.
- In a trifle bowl, add some pretzels. Then, layer in some key lime pie filling, sprinkle with more pretzels and continue until you are out of key lime pie filling.
- Top the key lime trifle with lime wedges and pretzel crumbs for an elegant look and to give guests an idea of what they’ll be eating.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
