Step 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F.
-
Step 2
Place the prebaked pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet.
-
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, and melted butter.
-
Step 4
Whisk in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, blending well after each addition.
-
Step 5
Whisk in the grapefruit juice, Campari, heavy cream, and bitters, if using.
-
Step 6
Strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the pie shell, or strain it into a separate bowl and then pour it into the shell.
-
Step 7
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 50 to 55 minutes, rotating 180 degrees when the edges start to set, 30 to 35 minutes through baking.
-
Step 8
The pie is finished when the edges are set and puffed slightly and the center is no longer liquid but still quite wobbly.
-
Step 9
Be careful not to overbake or the custard can separate; the filling will continue to cook and set after the pie is removed from the oven.
-
Step 10
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, 2 to 3 hours.
-
Step 11
Serve at room temperature or cool.
The pie will keep refrigerated for 2 days or at room temperature for 1 day.
