– 1 tablespoon key lime zest – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Graham cracker crumbs, for garnish – Additional key lime zest, for garnish
Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the key lime mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
