Ingredients
- 1 baked pound cake cubed.

Instructions
Make the Lime Curd
- Cook lime juice, sugar, and yolks over low heat. Stir until the mixture coats a spoon.
Add the Butter
- Whisk in butter pieces one by one. Let the curd cool in the fridge.
Whip the Cream

Layer the Cake

Add the Cream
- Spread a thick layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers until the bowl is full.
Chill and Serve
- Let it sit for four hours. Top with zest and crumbs before serving.
Notes

- Cold cream whips much faster than warm cream.
- Do not overmix the curd or it might break.
- Let the trifle chill so layers set well.
- This makes every bite perfectly balanced and delicious.
