\"RubyGrapefruit Cream Pie<\/strong>, a\u00a0vibrant play on Lemon Cream Pie with a tantalizing bitter-sweet ruby red bite!<\/p>\n

\"Pink
\n\"Pin<\/a><\/p>\n

Pearly pink pie… Is this girly-girl heaven or what?!<\/p>\n

All I need now is a saddled unicorn and a bowl full of glitter.<\/p>\n

\"Grapefruit<\/p>\n

All jokes aside, this Grapefruit Cream Pie is a thing of beauty and should not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n

It’s bold, citrusy, and piled high with silky whipped cream.<\/p>\n

\"Making<\/p>\n

This time of year, I use\u00a0every possible excuse to whip up cream pies…. A picnic. A neighborhood watch meeting. A goldfish funeral.<\/p>\n

Pie is always a welcomed\u00a0surprise and\/or stealthy\u00a0distraction.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Grapefruit Cream Pie is my current muse. An alluring cousin of beloved Lemon Cream Pie, yet with a unique bitter-sweet flavor and blushing hue.<\/p>\n

Think of it as the slightly more glitzy cousin with sparkly lip gloss and 4 inch heels.<\/p>\n

\"Simple<\/p>\n

Unlike my other fluffy cream pies with a cream cheese pudding base, this Grapefruit Cream Pie is more similar to a chess pie<\/a>. A baked custard pie with a bit of grain for\u00a0structural support.<\/p>\n

This allows the\u00a0distinct grapefruit flavor to shine, and not be\u00a0overshadowed by any other ingredient.<\/p>\n

\"Tangy<\/p>\n

The filling is made with eggs, flour, fresh ruby red grapefruit juice, evaporated milk, and\u00a0Wholesome!\u00ae Organic Blue Agave<\/a> for sweetness.<\/p>\n

The evaporated milk is important because it doesn’t curdle with the grapefruit juice like regular milk could. The eggs give the pie its silky texture. The fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice offers perky appeal.<\/p>\n

Yet\u00a0the\u00a0Wholesome!\u00ae Organic Blue Agave allows the pie to be sweetened without gmos, unnecessary chemicals, and preservatives.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Agave makes a marvelous baking ingredient because it blends effortlessly into batter without sugar crystals settling at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Since\u00a0its sweetness is concentrated, you can use less\u00a0agave than sugar, making it a marvelous low glycemic and lower calorie sweetener!<\/p>\n

\"Vibrant<\/p>\n

Bake the Grapefruit Cream Pie until the outside it set, but the inside is still a little jiggly, then chill so the interior can cool and set.<\/p>\n

Top with an ample amount of whipped cream and serve!<\/p>\n

\"Brilliant<\/p>\n

Why not serve Pink Grapefruit Cream Pie for Mother’s Day this year. Your mom will love the color, and all your guests will be thrilled at its vibrant fruity flavor.<\/p>\n
