Grapefruit Tart

With a buttery graham cracker crust and a silky grapefruit filling, this Grapefruit Tart is the perfect blend of tart and sweet. Whether you’re celebrating a summer birthday, hosting a brunch, or just craving something bright and refreshing, this grapefruit tart delivers.

If you’ve ever found lemon desserts a little too sharp (I have not!) or orange ones a little too sweet, let me introduce you to grapefruit. With its bold citrus tang and subtle floral sweetness, grapefruit brings a sophisticated twist to classic citrus desserts, and this tart is the perfect showcase.

We start with a coconut graham cracker crust (crunchy, buttery, and so easy – or use a regular coconut-free graham cracker crust), then fill it with a smooth, creamy grapefruit custard that bakes just long enough to set without losing any of its brightness.

If you’re a grapefruit fan, I’m confident this will earn a permanent spot in your dessert rotation. It has all the visual wow factor you want in a dinner party dessert (especially topped with whipped cream and a few slices of fresh grapefruit) but comes together with just a few ingredients.

Best of all, it’s the kind of dessert that holds up beautifully in the fridge or freezer. You can make it in advance, slice it cleanly with a sharp knife, and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
