Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and blind-bake the pie shell for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.

- Pour the custard into the pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet, then transfer to the lower rack of the oven.

Notes
- Create your own whipped topping. First, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then, add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Next, top the pie with the whipped cream and garnish with grapefruit slices.
- For a peachy pink hue resembling grapefruit, Add a drop or two of pink food coloring.
