Instructions
- Make the crumb mixture by pulsing the graham crackers and shortbread cookies in the food processor until they are crumbs. Pour into a dish then drizzle with melted butter; mix with a fork until crumbs are evenly coated with the butter. Set aside.
- Make the lime filling by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
- Make the whipped cream by using a hand mixer to beat the ice-cold heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract together until medium-firm peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup for topping the parfaits. Place in the refrigerator until needed. Side Note: Place the bowl and beaters in the freezer prior to making whipping the cream easier.
- Finish the custard by folding the remaining whipped cream into the condensed milk/lime juice mixture until fully incorporated. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- When serving spoon some of the lime custard in the bottom of each jar/glass. Repeat with a layer of crumbs, more custard, more crumbs, more custard.
- Top with a dollop of remaining whipped cream then garnish with some lime zest and a small slice of lime, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
