Grapefruit Almond Tart
- 120 grams Cake flour
- 20 grams Almond flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 40 grams Sugar (I used white sugar)
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 dash Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (you can also substitute with margarine)
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Heavy cream
- 15 grams Sugar
- 1 Grapefruit
- 1 Pink grapefruit
- Make the tart crust.
- Sift the cake flour and almond flour together.
- Bring the butter and egg to room temperature.
- Place the butter in a bowl, and mix well with a whisk to soften.
- Add the sugar and mix.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix together with a rubber spatula.
- Add the flour all at once, and mix together in a cutting motion.
- Bring the dough together into one piece, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Spread a thin layer of margarine (not listed in ingredients) onto the pie plate.
- Roll the dough out thinly with a rolling pin, poke holes in the dough with a fork, and lay it inside the pie plate.
- Slice off the excess dough with a knife.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- In the meantime, make the creme d'amande.
- Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature.
- Place the butter in a bowl, and mix with a whisk to soften.
- Add the sugar, and mix.
- Add the beaten egg in 3 stages, and when you are adding the last third of the egg, add the almond flour as well.
- Pour the creme d'amande into the pie plate, and bake in the oven at 180C for 15 minutes.
- It will look something like this.
- Then allow it to cool.
- It's best if you leave it overnight.
- Remove the peel of the grapefruit, as well as the inner membranes.
- Add the sugar to the heavy cream, and whip until soft peaks form.
- Put in a piping fitted with a round tip, and pipe onto the tart.
- Alternately place the pink and yellow grapefruit segments onto the pie, and decorate the outside edge of the pie with whipped heavy cream.
- Done!
- It looks like this when cut.
