Description

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• zest from 1 grapefruit
• 1 + ¼ cups granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 2 cups grapefruit juice
• 3 T. butter, cold

Directions

• In two bowls, divide the egg whites and yolks. Set aside the egg whites from another recipe.
• Add the zest of one large grapefruit in with the egg yolks.
• In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until combined.
• Add in the grapefruit juice and whisk until incorporated into the sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and let it come up to a boil. Whisking occasionally.
• Once it comes up to a boil, let it boil for 2 minutes. Whisk constantly to avoid burning.
• Pour about ½ cup of the juice mixture into the egg yolks that youve set aside. Whisk immediately to avoid cooking the yolks. This is tempering the yolks.
• Add the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the juice and whisk until incorporated.
• Let the grapefruit curd come up to a boil, and boil for about 5 minutes until thickened.
• Remove from the heat and add the cold butter. Whisk until the butter is melted and well combined.
• Place in a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap. Be sure that the plastic wrap is touching the curd, otherwise it may form a skin. Let cool completely. It will take 2-3 hours.
