Finger Lime Mojito Cheesecake Trifle

 

 What are finger liems? Little limes that are long and skinny and aren’t any bigger than your little finger.  They come in colors ranging from a deep green to yellow and even a very pretty pink!  When you slice them down the side, these tiny, bead-like things just come popping out and when you eat the tiny beads you get this EXPLOSION of lime! Lime Caviar!.
