For the Creamy Filling:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

For the Crisp:

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Watermelon Layer:

2 cups fresh watermelon, diced

1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lime zest until soft peaks form. Make sure not to over-mix; you want it to be fluffy and light.

      Make the Crisp Base:

        - In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

          - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the graham cracker mixture into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

            Prepare the Watermelon Layer:

              - While the crisp cools, toss the diced watermelon with fresh mint and, if desired, honey for added sweetness. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

                Assemble the Creamy Crisp:

                  - In a serving bowl or individual cups, layer the baked crisp, a generous scoop of the creamy filling, and then the minty watermelon. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the creamy filling on top.

                    Chill and Serve:

                      - Place the assembled creamy crisps in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors combine. Garnish with lime wedges and additional mint leaves just before serving.
