  3. For the lime layer, blend all ingredients until smooth. You might need to scrape the mixture down the sides or use tamper. Only add a little extra water if the mixture won’t blend at all.
  4. Pour the lime layer into the springform and spread evenly. Place in freezer while preparing the strawberry layer.
  5. For the strawberry layer, blend all ingredients until smooth. You might need to scrape the mixture down the sides or use tamper. Only add a little extra water if the mixture won’t blend.
