Delicious Key Lime Cheesecake Parfaits that bring a taste of paradise with creamy layers of cheesecake and graham crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 & 2/3 cups finely crushed Graham cracker crumbs (about 14 whole sheets)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup key lime juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
- Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the condensed milk, key lime juice, granulated sugar, and lime zest until creamy and well incorporated.
- Place mixture in the fridge for about 1-2 hours to firm up. (This step is optional, but it makes it easier to pipe.)
- Transfer mixture to a piping bag.
- Alternate the graham cracker crumbs and the cheesecake mousse into 8, 8 ounce canning jars (starting with the crackers and ending with the mousse). Secure with lids.
- Place in the fridge for about 3 hours to set completely.
- Unfasten lids, pipe some whipped cream on top and garnish with key lime zest.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the cheesecake mixture.
- This dessert can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
- Try using different citrus juices for a twist on the classic recipe.
