Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Juice two large grapefruits to yield about one cup of fresh juice, then strain it.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks until light and fluffy, then mix in the sweetened condensed milk and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Slowly add the strained grapefruit juice into the egg mixture, whisking until well blended.
  5. Pour the grapefruit filling into the graham cracker crust.
  6. Bake for approximately 25 minutes until filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  7. Cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  8. Serve slices with whipped cream and garnish with thin grapefruit slices or zest.

Notes

Make sure to use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for the best flavor. Blind-bake the crust to avoid sogginess. Refrigerate thoroughly before serving.
