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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with 2 tablespoons of the prepared key lime mixture to moisten the crumbs. Set aside.

Step 5

To assemble the parfaits, start by layering 2 tablespoons of the granola at the bottom of each serving glass.

Step 6

Next, add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a dollop of the key lime custard.

Step 7

Spread a layer of whipped cream over the custard, then sprinkle some of the graham cracker mixture on top.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill and serve immediately.
