Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 whole grapefruits plus 1 segmented grapefruit, chilled
  2. 2 gelatin sheets
  3. 3/4 cup passion fruit purée
  4. 2 whole large eggs plus 4 large egg yolks
  5. 1/2 cup sugar
  6. 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and pod reserved
  7. 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Slice the whole grapefruits in half and scoop the flesh into a blender (reserve the grapefruit shells for later). Blend the flesh until fully combined. Pour through a sieve into a container and add the gelatin sheets. Add the passion fruit purée and stir to combine. Meanwhile, combine the eggs and egg yolks in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add the purée and sugar to the pan and place over medium heat, whisking constantly to keep the curd smooth. Cook until the curd has thickened to a velvety texture, about 5 minutes, then whisk in the vanilla seeds and pod. Whisk in the butter, then strain through a sieve into a bowl set over an ice bath. Whisk until cooled to room temperature.
  3. Using a 2-ounce ladle, carefully pour into the grapefruit shells and place on a sheet tray. Refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours.
  4. Garnish with the grapefruit segments just before serving.
