Key Lime Pie Parfaits

Key Lime Pie Parfaits are a delightful and refreshing dessert that brings the flavors of a classic Key lime pie into a fun and easy-to-serve format. With their creamy filling, crunchy graham cracker layers, and zesty lime flavor, these parfaits are a fantastic dessert for a party.

We tend toward making simple, chilled desserts for summer parties, especially Memorial Day and 4th of July when there’s already a lot of food on the menu. No one turns down the chance to have a little key lime pie flavor in a small portion, like this.

Helpful Tips

1. Make Ahead: These parfaits can be made a day in advance, making them a great option for entertaining. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
2. Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the filling before assembling the parfaits and adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you prefer a tangier filling, you can reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
3. Serving Size: Adjust the serving size based on your preferences. You can use small cups for bite-sized treats or larger jars for more substantial servings.

• 1/2 cup key lime juice concentrate is available in most grocery stores
• 2 egg yolks
• 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 graham crackers
• 1/3 cup butter melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until incorporated. Pour into a small baking dish and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Then scoop it into a piping bag with no tip and put it back in the refrigerator.
• In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers to fine crumbs. Add the butter and ¼ cup sugar and pulse until well combined.
• Pour the cold heavy cream into a stand mixer bowl, fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium until peaks begin to form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until medium peaks form.
• To assemble, spoon a layer of graham cracker crust into the bottom of a mini parfait glass. Pipe on a layer of key lime filling, then a spoon of whipped cream. Repeat those layers.
