Description

Tart grapefruit and a buttery vegan shortbread crust are the perfect combination for an easy winter dessert! (Vegan)


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • For the grapefruit filling:
  • 1 ripe banana
  • Zest and juice of1/2 large grapefruit
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 pan and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, coconut oil, and powdered sugar until the dough comes together. Press into the bottom of the greased pan and bake for 7-9 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. You don’t want to over bake the crust, or it will become too hard after you add the filling. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the banana, grapefruit juice and zest, sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch and flour until fairly smooth and combined.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, until filling it set. Allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until cool.
  5. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
