Delight in a grapefruit tart with a coconut crust, filled with a tangy grapefruit custard and topped with coconut flakes.
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, shredded
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Florida Grapefruit Juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3 tbsp. cornstarch
- 3 egg yolks
- 6 tbsp. butter
Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ cup toasted coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp. dry roasted pistachio nuts, chopped
- Florida Grapefruit slices (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease a long rectangular tart pan (or a 9-inch round tart pan) and set aside.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and pulse until combined and mixture looks like wet sand. Mix in the coconut flakes.
- Transfer crust mixture into the tart pan and press crust into the bottom. Bake the crust until set, about 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer pan to a rack and let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan set on medium heat, combine the sugar with the cornstarch and add in the Florida Grapefruit Juice. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in half of the hot mixture into the egg yolks to temper the eggs.
- Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and add in the butter pieces. Whisk until melted.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap pressed against the top of the tart and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight until set.
- Top with coconut flakes, pistachios, and optional Florida Grapefruit slices. Serve chilled.
