Description

No-Bake Lime Marquesa is a refreshing, layered dessert featuring a creamy lime mixture and crunchy Maria cookies. This easy-to-make treat combines the tanginess of lime with the sweetness of condensed milk and the rich texture of whipped cream, perfect for a cool, no-bake dessert that’s ready after refrigeration.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Lime Mixture

  • 2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

For the Layers

  • 1 1/2 packages Maria Cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lime Mixture: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Blend these ingredients together for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Assemble the Dessert Layers: Using a spoon, spread a few tablespoons of the lime mixture evenly on the bottom of each of twelve 6-ounce glass cups. Break the Maria cookies by hand into approximately 1/2-inch pieces and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of these crushed cookies evenly over the lime mixture layer. Repeat these layers three more times, ensuring that each cup ends with a final layer of the lime mixture on top.
  3. Chill the Dessert: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften slightly, creating a creamy and crunchy texture combination.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish each cup with additional lime zest and some cookie pieces for added texture and visual appeal. Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious, no-bake lime dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure to use fresh lime juice and zest for the best citrus flavor.
  • The dessert requires refrigeration time of at least 8 hours to set properly.
  • Breaking the cookies roughly keeps the texture varied and interesting.
  • This recipe can be prepared a day in advance, which makes it convenient for entertaining.
  • For a lighter version, you may substitute heavy cream with whipped topping, but the texture and richness may vary.
