EASY KEY LIME PIE TRIFLE



Easy Key Lime Pie Trifle image

I came up with this easy Key lime pie trifle because I adore Key lime pie in all its forms. It's a refreshing treat on a hot summer day, and since it can be made ahead, it's ideal for entertaining, too. The pie is easier to cut when still a little frozen, but be sure to let the pieces finish thawing before starting the recipe. -Barbara Moorhead, Gaffney, South Carolina
