    How To Make Key Lime Lush

    There are 5 layers in this lush.

    It’s really easy to make and I’m going to walk you through it step by step.

  • Prepare the Crust Layer: Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse to form crumbs. Reserve 1 and ½ cups of the cookie crumbs, set aside. Next, mix the remaining crumbs with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, set aside.
  • Cream Cheese – Pudding Layer: Place the cream cheese in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix until smooth with no lumps. Add in the pudding mix and mix to combine. Next, mix in 1 cup of the heavy cream on slow speed until combined. Add 1 more cup of heavy cream, mix on slow to combine. Finally, add in the key lime juice, mix on slow speed until combined and smooth, scrape down the sides as needed. Reserve ⅔ cup of this mixture.
  • Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the cookie crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Oreo Layer: Evenly spread the remaining cookie crumbs on top.

  • Cream Cheese – Whipped Cream Layer: In the body of a stand mixer add the remaining 3 & ½ cups of the heavy cream and the powdered sugar. Using the whisk attachment, whip the cream and sugar starting on low speed and gradually increasing in speed to medium to form medium peaks. Take out about ⅓ of the whipped cream and set aside.
  • Fold the remaining whipped cream into the remaining ⅔ cup of the cream cheese mixture along with the lime zest. Pour this on top of the cookie crumbs in the baking dish, smooth out the top.
  • Whipped Cream Layer: Top the whole thing with the remaining whipped cream. You can smooth it over the top or pipe a decoration on top. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or up to overnight.
