Key Lime Parfait

Key Lime Parfaits are an easy, no-bake, refreshing summer dessert.

INGREDIENTS

• 12 honey graham crackers, finely ground
• 5 Tbsp granulated sugar
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• ⅔ cup heavy cream
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup key lime or regular lime juice (from about 4 limes)
• zest from 3 limes

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until mixture is combined. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In another medium-size bowl, cream together the sweetened condensed milk and the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, lime juice, and zest, then beat an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold gently until combined.
5. In small glass jars, spoon in a layer of graham cracker crumbs, then fill the rest of the jar with the key lime cheesecake mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream and a lime wedge.
