1.Prepare the Crumb Base:3 min. 

In a bowl, mix 1½ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs, 6 tbsp melted butter, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

2.Whisk Key Lime Filling:5 min. 

In a separate bowl, whisk 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp lime zest, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until uniform. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the citric acid to thicken the milk proteins.

3.Whip the Cream Layer:3 min. 

In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until soft-to-medium peaks form.

4.Assemble Parfait Layers:5 min. 

In small glass cups or parfait jars, layer the components sequentially:

Cover glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the citrus matrix to set completely and the flavors to fuse. Garnish with fresh lime zest or mint leaves before serving.
