Pink Grapefruit Pie

Sounds weird, but is very good.

Pink Grapefruit Pie

Crust:
1 2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs (22 squares, crushed)
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter

Pie:
1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 of a 3 ounce package strawberry gelatin
1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Ruby Red Grapefruits, peeled, sectioned, membranes removed
Whipped Topping of some sort for garnish

Make crust first. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together crumbs, sugar and butter. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9 inch glass pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.

Prepare filling. Whisk together water, sugar and flour in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring often, until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and gelatin. Set aside to cool.
Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over crust. Arrange grapefruit over cream cheese filling. Pour gelatin mixture over grapefruit and chill until set.

Garnish with whipped topping.

Ok, anyone who says they appreciate all jokes equally (Ernest Holings!) clearly has been a politician too long! Talk about trying to give the most PC response – hahaha :)
