I would add the zest to the custard AND as a garnish I might also add cherries somehow because I love Cherry and lime together. I also think you can use ANY Citrus in this recipe, meaning lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, clementines etc but yes the Zest in Citrus holds the oils and the oils are where that Gorgeous smell is, and smell is a Big part of flavor.

If you put the whipping cream in your mixer and fluffed it up, then added the condensed milk you would then have that quick 'no churn' ice cream.

Love the texture comparisons. Most of my people are very specific when it comes to texture so knowing which way to go out the gate is a huge plus.

Mom made no-bake key lime pie this way for many years but without heavy cream or crackers. My sister upgraded Mom's recipe by adding extra lime zest to the filling. Incredible flavor!!!

I make something similar to this with unsalted soda crackers. You layer the crackers with alternating layers of prepared vanilla instant pudding and Cool Whip then you top the dessert with a can of your fave fruit flavoured pie filling and a final layer of Cool Whip. Then you must let the finished dessert sit at least 24 hours before serving so the crackers absorb the moisture from the pudding and Cool Whip, as it almost transforms them into puff pastry. So very easy and so very delicious!
