1/2 cup of water (120 ml)
1 cup of sugar (180 g)
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons of grated lemon peel
1 cup of tart grapefruit pulp (130 g)
1/2 cup of water (120 ml)
1 cup of sugar (180 g)
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons of grated lemon peel
1 cup of tart grapefruit pulp (130 g)
In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to medium heat, stirring until dissolved
Let it simmer, without stirring, until it reaches the thread stage (test by lifting some of the custard with your finger; if it forms a string that doesn't break easily, it's ready)
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
With the mixer on, slowly pour the warm custard in a thin stream over the whipped eggs
Beat until thickened and cooled
Add the lemon zest, grapefruit pulp, and mix well
Serve with whipped cream or your preferred topping
If preparing ahead of time, store in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to two days
