10. Whip the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Tip: Chill your bowl and beaters beforehand for faster whipping.
11. Assemble the dessert: Spoon 2 tablespoons of chilled lime curd over each crust.
12. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of Pisco evenly over the curd in each glass.
13. Top each glass with a generous dollop of mint whipped cream.
14. Garnish each serving with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Buttery graham cracker crumbs give way to a tangy, silky lime curd infused with Pisco’s floral kick. The mint cream adds a cool, airy finish that makes each spoonful refreshingly balanced. Try serving these in chilled coupe glasses for an extra-elegant presentation that wows at dinner parties.
