Place the crushed graham crackers in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter and sugar. Stir well until the crumbs become moist and sandy. This mixture creates the crunchy base for the parfait.
Step 2: Make the Lime Filling
In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add lime zest and vanilla extract for extra flavor.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture. Mix carefully so the filling stays light and fluffy.

Step 3: Layer the Parfait
Take serving glasses or dessert jars. Add a spoonful of the crumb mixture to the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of lime filling on top of the crumbs. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full. Finish with a creamy lime layer on top.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Top each parfait with whipped cream. Decorate with lime slices, extra zest, or crushed cookies for a beautiful finish.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Chilling helps the dessert set properly and improves the flavor.
Serve cold and enjoy.
