TCS ~ July 2015 ~ Key Lime Icebox Cake!

I wonder if the TCS members managed to cover all the four choices for July!?

1. Lane Cake - A sticky rum & raisin filling oozes out and covers a golden layer cake. P76

2. Key Lime Icebox Cake - This refreshing summertime cake is really a super sneaky shortcut in cake baking - there's no cake to bake. Instead graham crackers sandwich a tart custard. P108

3. Tiramisu Layer Cake - This cake combines the flavour of traditional tiramisu with a 
layer cake you can decorate. P115

4. Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake - We replicated the flavour profile of Mexican chocolate
using semisweet chocolate and cinnamon. P185
***
without hesitation, I choose Key Lime Icebox Cake - page 108
using both Limau Nipis and Limau Kasturi
 at half the recipe
no graham crackers from the USofA to be found
only one brand available from.... 
the Philippines!
 I opted to top the slice with tropical fruits instead of whipped cream
a nice dessert!
also good on its own, without any additional touches!

Extra thick layers of custard are always a plus! Glad this recipe was a success!

Mmm. Your take on the Key Lime Icebox Cake looks delightful! I am intrigued by your Limau Nipis.

Beautiful looking layers Emily and lots of yummy custard. Those limes look wonderful...are the two kinds the reason for different sizes?
