Ingredients
  

1 cup canned coconut cream

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 2 limes)

1 tablespoon lime zest (grated from 1 lime)

1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted, if desired)

Fresh lime slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Using a whisk, mix until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Make the Crust Layer: In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with the shredded coconut (if using). Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a crumbly crust that will serve as the foundation for your dessert.

      Assemble the Layers: Using serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the crumb mixture to the bottom of each container. Follow with a generous spoonful of the creamy coconut-lime mixture. Repeat the layers until the containers are filled, ensuring that the final layer is the creamy mixture for a beautiful presentation.

        Chill the Dessert: Cover each glass or bowl with plastic wrap to retain freshness, then place them in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set, resulting in a delightful dessert experience.

          Garnish Before Serving: After chilling, take the dessert out of the refrigerator. For an elegant touch, sprinkle some extra toasted coconut flakes on top, and adorn each serving with a fresh lime slice or a sprig of mint.

            Enjoy: Serve chilled to revel in the refreshing taste of this zesty coconut lime crisp, making it a standout dessert for any occasion!
