Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (crushed in a food processor or in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 large egg yolks
1 large grapefruit, zested and juiced (1/2 cup juice)
Red food coloring, for tinting, optional
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the crust: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and bake until golden and set, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
For the filling: Mix the condensed milk, egg yolks and grapefruit zest and juice in the bowl of a mixer, then mix on high until smooth and thick. Add a few drops of the food coloring, if using, to give it a ruby grapefruit color, and stir thoroughly to combine.
Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream.
