Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 7-ounce jar roasted macadamia nuts
3/4 cup ground vanilla wafer cookies
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
2 cups fresh pink grapefruit juice
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
9 ounces imported white chocolate (such as Lindt or Callebaut), chopped
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 cups chilled whipping cream
Topping
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
7 thin lime slices, cut in half
8 ounces imported white chocolate (such as Callebaut), shaved into curls (optional)

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely chop nuts in processor. Add ground cookies, sugar and butter and blend in using on/off turns until moist crumbs form. Press mixture firmly onto bottom and sides of 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie dish. Bake crust until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool.
  • For Filling:
  • Boil grapefruit juice and 1/4 cup sugar in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over lime juice and let stand 10 minutes. Add gelatin mixture, white chocolate and 1/4 cup cream to grapefruit mixture and whisk over low heat until white chocolate and gelatin melt and mixture is smooth. Pour into large bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, whisking occasionally and scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula, about 2 hours.
  • Beat cream and sugar to stiff peaks. Spoon whipped cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe 15 rosettes of cream around edge of pie. Place 1 lime slice rounded side up between each rosette. Fill center with chocolate curls if desired. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of citrus and cream cheese seems a bit strange to me.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It doesn't specify what type of citrus fruit to use or how much sugar to add.

I had some trouble getting the pie crust to roll out properly. It kept breaking apart. I ended up using a pre-made crust instead.

This pie was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using a different type of citrus next time.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus desserts, but this pie was surprisingly good. The filling was tart and refreshing, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

This is the best citrus pie I've ever had! The filling is creamy and tart, and the crust is flaky and buttery.

This Florida Citrus Pie was a hit at my last dinner party. The combination of the sweet and tart citrus curd filling and the flaky crust was perfection.
