*Recipe* Coconut Key Lime Trifle

I love key lime, and coconut, so when I saw this recipe, I knew this had to be my Easter dessert.  Not only is super light and delicious, its also a bit tart and not too sweet so it is perfect for a eating a lot of haha.  Seriously, this is so good!  Make sure you try to use key lime when making it, I am pretty sure it makes all the difference.  

Ingredients

• 1 store bought angel food cake (or make your own, your call)
• 2 8oz blocks of cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 8oz tub cool whip
• 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp key lime juice
• 1 cup toasted coconut
• 2 tsp key lime zest (I used regular lime zest)

Directions

• Cut angel food cake into cubes, set aside.
• In the bowl of a mixer, cream together cream cheese, key lime juice, and sugar until creamy and smooth.  
• Stir in 1 tsp of zest and fold in Cool Whip. 

• In a large bowl ( it looks cool if you have an actual Trifle bowl), arrange 1/3 of the cake cubes on the bottom.  
• Drizzle 1 tbsp of lime juice over cake.
• Spread 1/3 od cream cheese mixture over cake. 
• Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of coconut.
• Repeat process, ending with creamed mixture and coconut.  
• Sprinkle remaining zest over top and garnish with lime slices.  
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
