Maybe it was because I *almost* overbeat my whipping cream? I'll be more careful this weekend when I make it again. This was easy to make and absolutely delicious, but I agree with the reviewers who say it is very, very rich. Have made this several times and it has been a big hit each time. Mixed graham crumbs and ginger snaps for the crust. I followed other reviewer suggestions and used 1 1/2 packages of gelatin and twice as much lime juice. Next time I'll try using just two packages of cream cheese which I hope would make it more mousse-like & less cheese-cakey, which I'd prefer.Įven better and lighter if you only use 1 package of cream cheese, 2/3 cups lime juice, 3 tbs lime peel, and 5 ozs of chocolate. I now know why some reviewers call it light & others describe it as very manages to be both! I doubled both the lime juice & grated rind, as many suggested, & the lime flavor was right on. Add Raspberries and whipped cream to the top. It was a wonderful ending to a fantastic party. I added 8 tbs and may increase the next one to 10. Add more lime juice as previous reviews have suggested. A little bit goes a long way because it is so rich and delicious. From young to old, no one left a morsel behind. This is BY FAR, a HANDS DOWN winner! I served this to 22 guests last night and they all raved about how delicious it was. We piped extra whipped cream around the top, but the cake is very pretty even without it. Used a bottle of key lime juice, extra lime zest and 2 packages of cream cheese, thanks to other reviewers' suggestions. At our 4th of July gathering in 90 degree heat, this was loved by people of all ages.
