Awesome dessert! Easy, tasty, perfect. My husband was crazy for it as his birthday cake. Now he wants it every day. I imagine that by adding something like gelatin, it might be made stiff enough to hold it's shape when using a spring-form pan. It could be very beautiful.

This was delicious! I made it as a dessert for a latin-themed dinner which consisted of stuffed bell peppers and chips & homemade salsa. Since I was making it for two (and wanted some leftovers) I cut this recipe in half. For the cookies, I used "Marias" which can be found in the ethnic foods/Latin foods aisle. They were perfect for this dish. I didn't want to make them too soggy, so I only dipped them in the milk for a second. This is definitely a dessert that needs to be chilled in the fridge for an hour before it is really enjoyed!

I saw this recipe and dreamed about it, and then while i was making it i was VERY skeptical - but it turned out great after refrigerating!! Like a fancy layer cake that tastes oh-so-good. My mom says it tastes like a key lime pie. Nice and refreshing, not heavy at all...cant wait to make it for a party or something!! Oh, i used what i would call tea biscuits or butter biscuits - not too sweet, but definitely not a savory cracker, and pretty thin. (i also used fat free sweetened condensed milk)

What a wonderful dessert! Cool and creamy and not too sweet, with a wonderful lime flavor. I used "Lorna Doone" cookies (shortbread) and they were perfect. Thanks for posting this cool, fresh, delicious treat!
