3. To make this recipe easy you can use store bought cookies for the layers, use whatever is your favourite, but make sure they are crunchy. If you like soft cookies, break them into pieces first and re-bake for 10 minutes in a warm oven until crisp.
4. For assembly you will need 1 pint heavy whipping cream whipped until soft peaks appear.
5. Create layers using lemon and lime curds, broken cookies and fresh cream, garnish with chocolate shavings.
