Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Lime Pudding Layer

1. In a separate bowl, combine the instant lime gelatin or pudding mix with cold milk according to the package instructions.
2. Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
3. Spread the lime pudding over the cream cheese layer, creating a smooth and even top.

Step 4: Top with Whipped Cream

1. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the lime pudding layer, making it light and fluffy.
2. Optional: Garnish with lime zest, crushed graham crackers, or thin lime slices for a decorative touch.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
2. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Tips for Success

• For an extra tangy flavor, add 1–2 teaspoons of fresh lime juice to the cream cheese layer.
• Make sure your cream cheese is softened; otherwise, the layer may be lumpy.
• Use a spatula to evenly spread each layer to keep the dessert neat and beautiful.

Why Key Lime Pie Lush Is Special

Unlike traditional Key Lime Pie, which is baked and served in a pie dish, this lush dessert is layered, creamy, and easier to prepare. The combination of graham cracker crust, tangy lime pudding, and fluffy whipped topping creates a texture contrast that everyone will love.

This Key Lime Pie Lush is perfect for summer barbecues, family gatherings, or even as a sweet treat after a casual dinner. Its tangy lime flavor and creamy texture make it a crowd-pleaser, and its no-bake preparation keeps it quick and easy.
