Key Lime Pie Lasagna is cool, light and creamy summer dessert with sweet and tart layers of yummines
If you want a perfectly refreshing treat for these warm days, this Key Lime Pie Lasagna will equally satisfy the lovers of traditional key lime pie, as well as lovers of ice cream and cheesecake. This dessert is perfect for summer parties and barbecue because it is very easy and refreshing and it always comes good after a heavy meal.
Maybe the name seems a little confusing, but this dessert consists of four tasty layers. The crust is buttery shortbread layer flavored with chopped nuts. The second layer is cheesecake, and after that is the best part, key lime pie filling and in the end whipped topping sprinkled with many crispy nuts. You can choose your favorite nuts: cashews, macadamia nuts, pecans, but by no means skip this part, because the nuts make the dessert perfectly creamy and crunchy at the same time.
