Ingredients

Scale

Key Lime Filling

  • 1 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based whipped topping
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Crumbled Graham Layer

  • 2 cups crumbled graham crackers (natural gelling agent)
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Garnishes

  • Thin lime slices
  • Extra grated lime zest
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Sprinkle of crushed graham crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Key Lime Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine fresh key lime juice, plant-based cream cheese, and sweetened condensed coconut milk (natural). Whisk until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the plant-based whipped topping to lighten the mixture. Add a teaspoon of grated lime zest to enhance fragrance and freshness.
  2. Make the Crumbled Graham Layer: Mix the crumbled graham crackers with a splash of grape juice (natural) until the crumbs are moist but not soggy. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and mix gently to help bind the crumbs slightly. Set aside for layering.
  3. Assemble the Trifle: Using a clear glass trifle bowl or individual cups, start with a layer of the moistened graham crumbs. Next, add a thick layer of the key lime filling. Repeat the layers as desired. Finish with a sprinkle of grated lime zest on top for a fresh and eye-catching finish.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the natural gelling agent to set the layers so every spoonful maintains its delightful shape and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Moisten the graham cracker crumbs lightly with grape juice to avoid sogginess.
  • Fold the plant-based whipped topping gently to keep the filling airy and fluffy.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly to allow the trifle to set and flavors to meld.
  • Sprinkle lime zest on top just before serving to preserve its fresh aroma.
