Preparation

Beat the egg whites until stiff and add them to the mixture. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell. Let it cool down. Squeeze 3 grapefruits and bring the juice to boil adding butter and sugar. Beat the eggs and pour the grapefruit mixture over them. Cook until thick. Add the gelatine previously soaked in cold water to the grapefruit cream. Mix well. Pour the gelatine cream over the cake.
