Grapefruit Pie

Get more grapefruit into your life with this grapefruit pie. I’ve always loved grapefruit! I’ll be honest though, I sprinkle the top with sugar before digging in with my handy spoon. There’s no need to sprinkle sugar on the top of this pie though, it’s sweet enough as is. Don’t worry though, it still has a bite to it!

I had to make this recipe a few times to get it right. After a couple of times, I finally decided to add a little drop of food coloring to give the grapefruit a peachy look. I adore the color that it gives, but it gets lost with the sweetened condensed milk. Of course, if you’re not into food coloring don’t add it. I really do like the color it provided though. I would definitely do it again, provided I already had the color on hand.

As you can tell from the slice above, this pie is incredibly creamy and slices perfectly. I had such an awesome turnout with my blackberry key lime pie, I knew grapefruit had to happen. Not to mention, I think it’s pretty unique! Hopefully, that’s not a bad thing!
