Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 ounces gingersnaps
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1.5 cups fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Tiny drop of pink gel food coloring
  • 5 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, blend gingersnaps until fine crumbs form. Add walnuts and brown sugar; process until finely ground. Mix in melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown; set aside to cool.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks. Gradually add grapefruit and lemon juices along with food coloring. Heat over medium while stirring until boiling—set a timer for one minute.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until thickened. For a smooth filling, strain through a mesh strainer into the crust.
  4. Let cool at room temperature before refrigerating uncovered for at least four hours before serving.
