So Good Key Lime Parfaits
Hi dear friends, how are you, today? I received so many good reviews on these key lime parfaits, that I just have to tell you about it. You know you can turn many desserts into parfaits by just using a little imagination. They are so pretty and there is no slicing, so that is already a big plus. I served these at my daughter's baby shower. I kept them refrigerated until time of serving. I will show you images of the key lime parfaits and also as a key lime pie. SIMPLY DELICIOUS.
Key Lime Parfaits
Key Lime Pie
For the crust:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 graham crackers (3-by-5 inch)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Directions: In food processor, pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs, add melted butter, sugar, and salt; pulse to combine. Set aside.
Key Lime Filling
Ingredients:
3 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup key lime juice (if key limes unavailable, use regular limes)
1 tablespoon grated grated zest
Note: If making parfaits, there is no need to bake crust. Just distribute a heaping teaspoon in each parfait cup. Filling recipe provided me with 17 servings.
If making pie, press crumb mixture into bottom and sides of a 9 inch bake pan, bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and set aside.
Directions for filling:
In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour over crust. Chill pie well before serving. Garnish with limes and whipped cream.
Note: for parfaits, I used 4 ounce cups. After graham cracker has been distributed in each cup, pour 2 heaping tablespoons key lime filling, followed by whipped cream. I garnished my parfaits with raspberries. They turned out so cute!
