For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of grapefruit zest to the gelatin mixture. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, brush the bottom with melted white chocolate before adding the grapefruit and gelatin filling. Serve chilled with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent treat. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of sugar in the gelatin mixture to 1/4 cup. Instead of strawberry gelatin, you can use a citrus flavored gelatin for a more intense grapefruit flavor.
