Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granola
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, and butter. Warm the mixture gently while stirring, about 2-3 minutes, until silky and smooth. Allow it to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with 2 tablespoons of the prepared key lime mixture to moisten the crumbs. Set aside.
To assemble the parfaits, start by layering 2 tablespoons of the granola at the bottom of each serving glass.
Next, add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a dollop of the key lime custard.
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the custard, then sprinkle some of the graham cracker mixture on top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream and garnishing with a sprinkle of granola, a slice of strawberry, and a small pinch of lime zest.
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill and serve immediately.
