Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 packages (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cups key lime juice
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup flaked coconut

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and stir the graham crumbs, 1 cup pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter together.
Press the crumb mixture into a 9-by-13-inch pan and bake for 12 minutes, then cool for 8 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and key lime juice until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until firm peaks form, about 4 minutes.
Break the cooled crumb layer into pieces and layer it with the lime mixture and whipped cream in a trifle bowl.
Top with the remaining pecans and coconut, then chill for 10 minutes.
