<h2 class="subheader">Carlota de Limón</h2> <p>This Mexican Lime Icebox Cake, known as a carlota in Spanish, is a cool, creamy no-bake treat that layers a cream filling with crisp <a title="Maria Cookies" href="https://goya.com/en/products/maria-cookies" data-id="5370">GOYA® Maria Cookies</a>. Here, we whisk together cream cheese, condensed and evaporated milk with lime juice and zest to make a refreshing citrus filling that’s set between the cookies. Once assembled, we simply chill the cake in the refrigerator overnight until the cookies absorb the flavors of the filling and soften into a sliceable, cake-like consistency.</p>

Hello Lisa P. My apologies that you had a tough time with this recipes. The idea behind the thickening of the mixture is the when acid in the lime juice reacts with the proteins in the milk which will create a thicken custard mixture that can be spooned out and spread. It is important to whisk in the ingredients in the order stated in the direction where the lime juice is the last ingredient added. I hope this helps. Thanks , Chef Ashley
