Lime and Grapefruit "fondant"
These are really nice. We think that the grapefruit is bitter, but not at all, it will be the sweetnest of the two.
ingredients:
For the dough (if you want it thick, if not, directly divide the quantities by 2)
- 250g of flour (175g)
- 125g butter (65g)
- 60g sugar (30g)
- 1 egg yolk
For lime mix:
- 100 ml of lime juice
- 2 eggs
- 30g flour
- 100g sugar
- A few drops of green coloring
For Grapefruit mix:
- 100 ml of grapefruit juice
- 2 eggs
- 30g flour
- 100g sugar
- A few drops of red dye
If you want to do one or the other, not two, just double or divide the quantities of the dough into 2 (however, keep the yolk in the recipe)
