Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Fresh grapefruit juice
• 1 tablespoon Grapefruit zest
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, grapefruit zest, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 7

Just before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the chilled pie. Garnish with additional grapefruit zest or thin slices of fresh grapefruit, if desired.

Step 9

Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your tangy and creamy Grapefruit Pie!
