Ingredients
~~ Crust ~~
- 2 cup (250 g) *Flour
- 1/2 cup (60 g) Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) Cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) Salt
- 3/4 cup (170.25 g) unsalted butter
~~ Filling ~~
- 4 (4) Egg
- 1 1/2 cup (300 g) Sugar
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Grapefruit peel
- 3/4 cup (177 g) Grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup (59.5 g) Half-and-half cream
- 3 tablespoon (3 tablespoon) *Flour
- 1 cup (120 g) Powdered sugar
- *Pink Food Coloring
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F / 176.66°C. Get a 9x12 baking dish and line its bottom and sides with waxed paper or greased parchment paper. This is important!
Make the Filling
- Combine the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix them together. I do not suggest using a stand mixer because it is just too powerful. Use a regular bowl and whisk.
- Use your discretion to add pink or red coloring gel. A little bit goes a long way.
Make the Crust
- Make the crust by combining the crust ingredients in a food processor and processing until you have what looks a little like sand. Take this and press it firmly into the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for about 20 minutes or until the sides start to brown. Remove the crust from the oven and immediately pour the filling onto the hot crust. Put this back in the oven and bake uncovered until the mixture has set, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan until cooled. Dust with powdered sugar. Don't put it into the refrigerator unless you have already cut the squares, otherwise, the crust will be difficult to cut.
Notes
This dessert is very rich and a little bit goes a long way.
