Raspberry-grapefruit curd topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 170 g raspberries (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon grated red grapefruit zest + 0.5 cup grapefruit juice (from 1 grapefruit)
- 0.5 cups of sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- A pinch of salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Preparation:
- Blend the raspberries and grapefruit juice in a blender. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing it through with a silicone spatula. Rinse the sieve.
- Stir sugar, cornstarch, grapefruit zest, and salt into the raspberry puree. Stir in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens like pudding, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, a few pieces at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Strain the cream through a sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a silicone spatula. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.
