Do you like the taste of grapefruit" To be honest, I don’t enjoy having it on its own, however, the refreshing citrus flavour with a slightly bitter aftertaste is so perfect in a dessert. This absoloutely divine tasting tart has a few different elements to it but it is definitely not difficult to make. All of them can be made ahead of time and assembled at the time of serving.

This Grapefruit and Orange Tart has a lovely shortcrust pastry base, a grapefruit custard filling, a layer of orange curd, a white chocolate decoration that complements the citrus duo beautifully and some vanilla chantilly cream to balance the sweetness. It is sure to impress your guests both by it’s apperance and by taste.
If you didn’t want to make all the layers, you could easily leave out the orange curd or white chocolate spiral and it would still be fanatstic.
