Graham Cracker Crunch (or buy an 8 or 9 inch graham cracker ready made crust)
1 1/4 cups Graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/4 cup Packed light brown sugar
Frosting
1 12 oz (1 1/2 cup) Lime or Lemon Curd (I recommend the Mackays brand @ www.mackays.com) or make your own.
1 0.25 ounce package unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons water
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon Confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup Heavy cream
Zest and juice of 1 medium to large lime or lemon

1
Line an 8 inch square baking pan (a pyrex might be ok too) with foil allowing it to hang over the sides. Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Press onto bottom of cake pan (no need to grease foil), and bake for 15 minutes in a 350F preheated oven. Cool for 1/2 hour; break into irregular chunks when ready to use frosting on cake or cupcakes.
2
Stir gelatin in water and microwave for 30 seconds. Let cool to room temperature, maybe 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese, sugar, juice and zest till light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add gelatin and beat to combine, then cream and beat till soft peaks (about 3 minutes). Add the curd and beat till combined (30 seconds).
3
Cover your cake or cupcakes, then sprinkle generously with the graham cracker crust crumbs (note you may have some leftover). Refrigerate for 1 hour so gelatin can set, but i find that you can even serve it immediately. Actually, I prefer it room temperature but if you prefer a texture that is closer to a key lime or lemon pie, you want it colder. Either way though is delicious.
