Step by Step guide

Step 1

The day before, mix the egg yolks with sugar in a bowl. Pour in 100 ml of hot milk, stir, and transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the mixture begins to stick to the spoon. Once cooked, pour it into silicone ice cube molds and place in the freezer overnight.

Step 2

The next day, strain the grapefruit juice through a sieve. Heat 1/4 of the juice. Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, then squeeze them out and mix with the hot juice. Stir well, then add the cold juice. Pour into glasses. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the jelly to set.

Step 3

Remove the zest from the grapefruits and squeeze out the juice. Blanch the zest: boil it for 10 seconds and remove it from the water. Repeat this process twice, changing the water each time. Then, place the zest in a bowl of cold water. Let it drain. Mix the zest with fine sugar and the squeezed juice, and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Blend with a mixer. Allow to cool and pour over the jelly in cups. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the smoothie.
