Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Sweet pastry dough
For filling
4 grapefruit (preferably 2 pink and 2 red)
8 oz mascarpone cheese* at room temperature
3 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
4 tablespoons confectioners sugar
Special Equipment
a 9- to 10-inch round tart pan (1 inch deep) with removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round on a floured surface and fit into tart pan (if pastry breaks, press together with your fingers). Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, then carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden, 13 to 15 minutes more. Transfer shell in pan to a rack to cool.
  • Make filling just before serving:
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from fruit with a sharp paring knife, then cut segments free from membranes and pat dry with paper towels. Squeeze 3 tablespoons juice from membranes into a bowl. Whisk together mascarpone, candied ginger, 2 tablespoons juice, and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar. Add remaining tablespoon juice if mixture is too thick.
  • Spread ginger mascarpone evenly in tart shell and top decoratively with fruit. Dust with remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar and serve immediately.

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would make a different crust.

I had some trouble getting the tart out of the pan without breaking it. I think I will try using a different pan next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tart turned out beautifully. The grapefruit filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. My family loved it!

This grapefruit tart was a delightful treat! The tart, tangy filling was perfectly balanced by the sweet, buttery crust. I especially loved the addition of pistachios, which added a nice crunch and nutty flavor.
