Description
Made with lime curd, whipped cream, and crushed graham crackers, this key lime parfait tastes like key lime pie…in a glass!
Ingredients
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!)
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add chilled whipping cream. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Mix in the confectioner’s sugar, followed by the vanilla extract.
Assembly:
Place half of the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits in the bottoms of the glasses, dividing the crackers equally between the four.
Add all of the white chocolate, dividing it equally between the four glasses.
Add half of the lime curd, dividing it equally between the four glasses. Use the back of a spoon to spread the curd so it covers the chocolate.
Add half of the whipped cream, dividing it equally between the four glasses.
Repeat with remaining crackers or biscuits, followed by the remaining lime curd, and the remaining whipped cream.
Garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
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.
