No-Bake Key Lime Pie Parfait

When I first came across the concept of key lime pie fudge I scanned and scanned pages of recipes trying to find out what made it different from regular old key lime pie.

Turns out it’s not much! The fudge omits the eggs and includes white chocolate – that’s it. Now to me, that’s not key lime pie fudge, all you’ve got there are teeny tiny pieces of key lime pie. They still have the crust on, for crusts sake! That's so my new favorite saying.

So I took it upon myself to make proper key lime pie fudge that wasn’t just a key lime pie divided into bite-size pieces. I added a few ingredients and got rid of the crust. I also learned something. Turns out that people include the crust in key lime pie fudge because without it, it's just a green gloopy mess. Who knew?

So I decided to turn my green gloopy mess into pretty no-bake parfaits – it was either that or eat the 'fudge' straight from the tin, which I must admit was my favourite option.

Does anyone else have an inexplicable urge to dress in green and drink Guinness after reading this post?
