It is important to create a right angle between the sides and the base of the crust, which will ensure the edges remain high when baking.<\/li>\n<li>Pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork. Freeze the crust for about an hour.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat oven to 170c degrees.<\/li>\n<li>Blind baking: put a sheet of heat-resistant plastic wrap or baking paper on the frozen crust and fill with dry beans or special weights for baking.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for about 12-14 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the weights and the plastic wrap and continue to bake the crust for about 12-15 minutes or until it is completely golden brown.<\/li>\n<li>Cool at room temperature.<\/li>\n<li>Almond and ricotta cream: in a food processor with a steel blade put almond meal, sugar, butter, ricotta, egg yolk, salt, flour and grapefruit peel and blend until you get a uniform, thick cream.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the cream on the baked crust and flatten evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Bake at 170c degrees for 10-15 minutes until the cream is set at the edges, golden and still slightly soft in the center.<\/li>\n<li>Cool completely.<\/li>\n<li>Ricotta cream: in a bowl, whisk ricotta cheese, powdered sugar and stabilizer until blended.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with 2 cm round piping tip.<\/li>\n<li>Pipe mounds of ricotta cream at the center of the tart and arrange segments of grapefruit around in a fan.<\/li>\n<li>Garnish with a little silver powder and red grapefruit peel strips and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Serve the tart on the day of preparation, then it&#8217;s at its best.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tart can be kept in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of grapefruit you can use any other citrus fruits you like.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Edible silver powder can be obtained in baking specialty stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_15020\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15020\" class=\"wp-image-15020\" title=\"Red Grapefruit and Ricotta Tart\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/red_grapefruit_ricotta_tart2-s.jpg\" alt=\"Red Grapefruit and Ricotta Tart\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago I met my good (and so talented) friend Tal Hausen, who is one of the best pastry chefs I know in Israel.
