Citrus Ginger Pie is so luscious, so creamy, so rich, and so over-the-top delicious! Serve this at a festive occasion, for an afternoon pick-me-up, or a dessert after a casual dinner.Ginger Citrus Pie Recipe | Cooking On The Weekends (1)

I guess you could say my mom is a creature of habit in the restaurant department.

At the moment, if she and my dad are out for dinner, I know exactly where they are and what my mom is ordering. (My dad changes it up a bit.)

Even though my mom is a true chocoholic, at her current restaurant of choice, she chooses the Key Lime or lemon pie -- every time.

She loves citrus flavors and pies that are "as smooth silk," as she would say.

So with a Ruby Grapefruit, Key Limes from Melissa's Produce, and my mom in mind, this is pie came to be.

I brought my mom a few slices as soon as it was ready, and by that evening she called to see if there was more. So I know this pie is super delicious and "as smooth as silk."

Gluten-free Ginger Snaps are usually available at Trader Joe's and Gelson's Markets. If you're not close to one of those stores, you can order them here.

Enjoy!

Cuisine American

Servings 10

Calories 464 kcal

Ingredients

For the crust

  • dozen Ginger Snaps (regular or gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

  • ½ cup fresh lime juice (Key limes are a lovely choice)
  • ½ cup fresh Ruby grapefruit juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger pulp
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup crème fraîche
  • 2 large eggs
  • about 1 tablespoon fresh lime zest

Instructions

  • Adjust a rack to the center of the oven and preheat it to 375°F.

For the crust

  • Add the the Ginger Snaps to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend until you have very fine crumbs. Pour this into a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter.

  • Firmly press crumb mixture into the bottom and along the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated 375°F oven until it's just beginning to brown a bit, about 10 minutes.

  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F, and let the crust cool completely at room temperature.

For the filling

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the lime juice, grapefruit juice and ginger together. Then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and crème fraîche. Once that's smooth, add the eggs and continue to whisk until the mixture is completely smooth.

  • Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and place it in the preheated 325°F oven. Bake for 30 minutes. (It should still be able to jiggle -- mostly in the center, and the edges will have solidified a bit more.)

  • Let the pie cool completely, and then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Valentina, I'd LOVE to try this pie! I'm a huge grapefruit fan, not so much with limes, so this really intrigues me! Your photos are gorgeous, as usual!! xx

      Thank you, my friend. You could skip the lime and use orange, or all grapefruit. (Which I'm sure you know -- amazing chef that you are!)

    i intend to make this tomorrow, but i wish you would've given us another
    description of the ginger snap amount. boxes of cookies don't tell you how many are in them, so i have no way to know if one box is sufficient. just sayin'.

      Hi there -- Cookie boxes/bags will usually tell you a), how many cookies are in one serving and then b), how many servings per package. Most brands offer cookies that are about the same size. I hope this helps, and the next time I make this crust, I'll add more forms of measurements. Hope you enjoy the pie! 🙂

    Wow am I getting in on this late! But it looks amazing and I will definitely be trying this out soon. One question I was wondering about was have you ever tried adding alcohol and if so, what kind? My friends love all things pie but the ones that incorporate liquor seem to go much faster than those that don't. Any suggestions?

      Hi Andrew. Thanks for writing in. I think adding Grand Marnier -- an orange-flavored liqueur -- would be delicious. Maybe a tablespoon or so, to the filling. I hope you love it. Enjoy! 🙂 ~Valentina

FAQs

What are the ingredients for a peach pie? ›

How to work with fresh ginger? ›

Take your peeled ginger and grate with a fine microplane grater. You'll get sort of a ginger paste that dissolves into the food, and gives a more subtle ginger flavor. You can also cut the peeled ginger into coins. I use this shape for making homemade ginger vodka!

What is the best thickener for fruit pies? ›

Very often flour or cornstarch is used, but in certain instances tapioca, arrowroot and potato starch can also help achieve the desired consistency. Tapioca starch is preferable for products that will be frozen because it will not break down when thawed. We like tapioca in blueberry, cherry or peach pies.

How do you keep a peach pie from being runny? ›

What's the difference between a peach pie and a peach cobbler? ›
