60g Icing sugar

½ tsp. Salt

Florida grapefruit cream filling

Juice of 2 lorida grapefruits

Finely grated zest of a grapefruit

60g Sugar

3 Eggs

180g White chocolate

Method:

1. Beat the sugar and butter until the mixture becomes pale then add the flour.

4. Place the plate in the refrigerator for one hour.

5. Preheat oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6) and bake for about 15 minutes. Let it cool on a rack.

7. Lave it to thicken in a water bath, while stirring constantly.

8  . Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Stir grapefruit cream with the chocolate.
