What You’ll Need:

For the Lime Curd:
1 cup lime juice
2 cups sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
14 eggs

For the Crust Layer:
1/3 cup sugar
½ whole graham crackers
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Topping:
1 ½ cups whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar
Lime zest, for garnish

What to Do:

For the lime curd: Combine the lime juice, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and cook on a low flame until the butter melts.  Beat the eggs, add to the saucepan, and stir until combined.  Bring to a simmer.  Stir constantly and cook until the mixture is a thick and creamy consistency, or 5 to 7 minutes.  Pass through a mesh strainer.  Chill for 2 hours in the fridge.

For the crust:  Add the sugar and graham crackers to a food processor.  Pour in the melted butter and pulse to combine.

For the topping:  Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff.

To assemble, layer the crumb mixture into the bottom of a serving cup, followed by the lime curd.  Top with the whipped cream mixture and garnish with lime zest.
