Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 tablespoon Grapefruit zest
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, grapefruit zest, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the chilled pie. Garnish with additional grapefruit zest or thin slices of fresh grapefruit, if desired.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your tangy and creamy Grapefruit Pie!
