Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Water
- 150 milliliters Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons Lime zest
- 150 grams Crumbled shortbread cookies
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Lime slices or additional zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and lime zest. Transfer the mixture to a shallow container and place it in the freezer.
Every 30 minutes, use a fork to stir and scrape the mixture to break up ice crystals. Continue this process for about 3-4 hours until the mixture becomes a smooth, scoopable sorbet.
While the sorbet is freezing, prepare the whipped cream. In a large, chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
To assemble the parfaits, divide half of the crumbled shortbread cookies evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls.
Add a scoop of lime sorbet over the cookie layer in each glass, followed by a dollop of whipped cream.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining cookies, sorbet, and whipped cream.
Garnish the parfaits with lime slices or a sprinkle of additional lime zest, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
