Description

Made with lime curd, whipped cream, and crushed graham crackers, this key lime parfait tastes like key lime pie…in a glass!


Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream:

275 milliliters (1 1/4 cups) cold whipping cream
15 grams (1 tablespoon) confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly:

330 grams lime curd (about 1 1/4 cups), store-bought or homemade
150 grams graham crackers or digestive biscuits (5 ounces, or 10 large digestive cookies)
100 grams chopped white chocolate (about 3/4 cup), or white chocolate chips

To garnish:

Lime zest, thinly sliced limes, crushed graham crackers, chopped white chocolate, mint leaves, candied peel


Instructions

Method:

Place the graham crackers or digestive biscuits in a large ziploc bag. Use a rolling pin or mallet to crush. (You’re aiming for large chunks and pieces, not the sandy crumbs you’d use for a pie crust!)

Notes

You can use a store-bought curd to make these parfaits, or use my homemade lime curd recipe. If making the curd from scratch, I suggest doing so the night before and chilling it in the refrigerator overnight.

 

Do not assemble the parfaits until just before you plan to serve them, or the graham crackers/digestives will get soggy.
