Description

Ingredients

• FOR CRUST:
• 1 - 1 & ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (depending on how thick youd like your crust)
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
• FOR CURD:
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted & slightly cooled
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup key lime juice (or substitute regular lime juice if you cannot find key limes)
• Zest of 3 limes
• Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

• First, prepare your curd. In a large microwaveable bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar and eggs. Add in the key lime juice and lime zest. Microwave on HIGH power for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on HIGH power for 1 minute intervals, stirring after each interval, up to 6-7 minutes. At the 6-7 minute mark, the curd should be thick and coat the back of a spoon.
• Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher - I like using a bowl with a spout for easy pouring. Cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.
• While the curd cools, make your crusts. In a large bowl, toss together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until moistened. Portion the crumbs evenly among your glasses and use a Tablespoon measurement to gently compact it. Top with about ½ cup of the lime curd - this is for about 4 small parfaits. Adjust accordingly to your choice of glassware.
• Refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours. Just before serving, garnish with fresh whipped cream.
