Steps:
- For the crumb: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, coconut chips and lime zest in a bowl. Mix to combine.
- For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, coconut extract and lime zest and juice in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Begin by layering 1/4 cup of the crumb in the bottom of each of 4 parfait glasses. Top each with 1/3 cup of the filling. Repeat the layers once more, then garnish with extra toasted coconut and lime zest.
TROPICAL YOGURT PARFAIT
A twist on a yogurt parfait featuring tropical fruits and a little bit of crunch from a homemade granola! You could prep the syrup and granola the night before for quicker morning preparation - just store the syrup in the fridge and the granola in a sealed container. This makes a nice presentation when served in a clear cup to reveal the layers - individual trifle bowls work great.

Steps:
- Gently remove the halved grapefruit pieces from the skin and place in a medium bowl. Combine with avocado.
- Prepare pomegranate syrup: Combine sugar and corn starch in a small saucepan, and mix well. Add pomegranate juice. Bring to a boil and simmer gently until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Prepare granola crumble: Preheat oven to 325°F Combine oats, butter, brown sugar, allspice, and almonds, and toss. Spread oat mixture on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until light brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in coconut and return to oven until mixture is medium brown, about another 5 minutes.
- To make parfaits, layer yogurt in individual dishes, followed by a layer of fruit, then a drizzle of pomegranate syrup, topped with granola crumble. Add another layer of yogurt, fruit, then syrup drizzle, and finish with the granola crumble. Enjoy!
- Note: If your grapefruit is particularly tart, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar, to taste, on the fruit mixture before layering it into the parfait.

Tips:
- Choose ripe fruits: The riper the fruits, the sweeter and more flavorful your parfait will be. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and have a sweet smell.
- Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and delicious parfait. Some popular combinations include strawberries and bananas, blueberries and raspberries, and mangoes and pineapples.

- Sweeten it up: If your fruits are not sweet enough, you can add a little bit of honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup to taste.
- Get creative: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making parfaits. Experiment with different fruits, yogurt flavors, and toppings to create a parfait that's perfect for you.
