Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 1/3 ounces pure butter shortbread
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups grapefruit juice, fresh
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons grated grapefruit zest
3 red grapefruits, peeled and sectioned
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Process shortbread in a blender or food processor until graham cracker crumb consistency (about 1 1/3 cup crumbs).
  • Stir together shortbread crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl. Press mixture lightly into a greased 9-inch tart pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Whisk in juice and egg yolds. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, 10-12 minutes or until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons butter and rind.
  • Pour filling into prepared tart shell. Cover surface of filling directly with plastic wrap. Chill 2 1/2 hours.
  • Place red grapefruit sections in an 8-inch baking disk. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, and chill until ready to assemble. Drain grapefruit before assembly.
  • Arrange segments, with outer part of segments facing the edge, around border of tart. Arrange remaining segments around tart, slightly overlapping to cover filling completely. Serve immediately. Chill leftovers.
  • To make ahead: Prepare crust and filling up to 2 days ahead, but do not top with fruit. Top with grapefruit just before serving.

I am on a low-carb diet and this tart fit the bill perfectly. The crust is made with almond flour, which is low in carbs. The filling is also low in carbs and sugar. I was able to enjoy this tart without feeling guilty.

My kids loved this tart! The grapefruit filling is sweet and tangy, and the crust is flaky and buttery. They even helped me make it, which was a fun experience.

I made this tart vegan by using a vegan cream cheese and butter. It turned out delicious! The tart was still creamy and decadent. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who is vegan.

This tart is very affordable to make. Grapefruit is a relatively inexpensive fruit and the other ingredients are also very budget-friendly. I was able to make this tart for less than $10.

I decided to get creative with this recipe and added some candied grapefruit zest to the filling. It turned out amazing! The candied grapefruit zest added a nice burst of flavor and texture to the tart.

I was looking for a healthier tart recipe and this one fit the bill. The grapefruit filling is naturally sweet and tangy, and the crust is made with whole wheat flour. I felt good about serving this tart to my family.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tart turned out beautifully. It was a hit with my friends and family. The only thing I would change next time is to use a slightly less tart grapefruit.
