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.

This tart is a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The crust is very good and the curd is very smooth.

I made this tart with a gluten-free crust and it was still very good. The curd is very flavorful and the crust is nice and crispy.

This grapefruit tart is amazing! It's so refreshing and delicious. The grapefruit curd is perfectly tart and tangy, and the crust is buttery and flaky. I will definitely be making this again.
