3 Delicious Ways to Use Lime Curd
Lime curd is one of the best ways to add some tartness to your cake. As you know, cakes can very easily become too sweet, so finding ways that balance out some sweetness, but also pair well with the flavors is something I love to figure out! I share 3 delicious ways to use lime curd in this post, and they are some of my family and friends’ favorite desserts!
I know lime can be an acquired taste, so I make sure that my lime curd is not too strong. Rather it’s just enough to give you that hint of lime you’re looking for in your cake! I have some good tips on the original posts I linked throughout this post, so make sure to check those out! That’s also where you can find the full recipes for the lime curd desserts. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Lime Curd Dessert #1: Mojito Cake
If you’re looking for a dessert with a full-on celebration of lime, this Mojito Cake is it! This cake is filled with light and fluffy white cake layers infused with mint and lime, lime curd filling, and mint buttercream. The inspiration for this cake flavor actually comes from a BCAA flavor from my friends at Perk. Neither the lime nor the mint is too strong in this cake, but the cake certainly is creamy! Just imagine taking a bite of a cloud-like piece of cake with subtle flavors of mint and lime. You’ll feel like you’re in a dream with every bite of this cake!
Lime Curd Dessert #2: Coconut Key Lime Pie Cake
I’m sure you’ve tried the common dessert, key lime pie, before. As you know, I am not a huge fan of pie, so like many pie flavors, I’ve turned this one into a cake! And I even added coconut to go with it, and it tastes so amazing! This Coconut Key Lime Pie Cake has the perfect balance of sweet and tart with the coconut cake layers and buttercream and lime curd filling. As one who is not a huge fan of key lime pie, this cake is so satisfying! So, if you’re not a huge fan of it either, I think you’ll still enjoy this cake!
Lime Curd Dessert #3: Rainbow Sherbet Cake
This bright and colorful Rainbow Sherbet Cake will help you feel like there is warm sunshine beaming down no matter what time of year it is! I know we are talking about lime curd desserts in this post, but this cake has a twist. I actually use a raspberry lime curd in it, and it’s so good! This cake is filled with tender yellow cake layers, raspberry lime curd, and orange buttercream. And, you guys, I have to say these cake flavors are out of this world! It’ll bring all the nostalgia from eating sherbet ice cream back when you were a kid. I think you will really love this one!
