Step-by-Step Instructions

Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted unsalted butter. Form a firm crust in a trifle dish.
Whip the heavy whipping cream in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form, then fold in lime juice, zest, sugar, and vanilla extract.

Cover the assembled trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
Serve the trifle with lime zest or toasted coconut flakes as garnish, and enjoy!
