Original, fragrant and refined: the grapefruit desserts express the nature of this truly unique citrus fruit to the maximum, which, not surprisingly, has the scientific name of Citrus Paradisi.<\/p>\n
In fact, white or pink grapefruit has a lot of heaven: thanks to the richness of vitamin C, fiber and draining properties it is not only a delicious but also healthy ingredient for the creation of genuine desserts and delicious cakes that are good for you!<\/p>\n
In addition to flavoring the dough with grapefruit juice or zest instead of lemon, with this citrus you can create creams and jams to fill pies, soft cakes, cheesecakes and biscuits.<\/p>\n
Those with a sweet tooth can only try grapefruit curd, a velvety and quick-to-cook sauce based on grapefruit juice. Just heat the juice with eggs and sugar and, once it reaches a boil, add the butter into small pieces, always stirring.<\/p>\n
Grapefruit jam takes a little more patience to get rid of the white, bitter part of the peel, but it pays off with a decidedly incredible taste and scent.<\/p>\n
Fresh and quick to make, spoon desserts, perhaps served in small glasses, are ideal to please your guests and with grapefruit you can create really delicious ones.<\/p>\n
An example? Tiramisu with grapefruit.<\/p>\n
A real delight of ladyfingers dipped in white or pink grapefruit juice, interspersed with the classic filling with eggs and mascarpone.<\/p>\n
For a lighter result, just replace the traditional ricotta cream with sugar and whipped egg whites.<\/p>\n
Another combination for a successful dessert is that of grapefruit and green apple. In the single portion you can alternate the purees with a layer of Greek yogurt, cover them with a crumble or with a little chopped cantucci for a crunchy touch.<\/p>\n
Thirst-quenching, refreshing and very fragrant: grapefruit ice cream enhances the characteristics of this fruit of Paradise.<\/p>\n
The balanced flavor, sweet with a pleasantly bitter note, comes from the choice of the best fruits. For our grapefruit sorbet, in fact, we only squeeze the sweetest and juiciest: those from Jaffa.<\/p>\n
