Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, pour the fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir gently until sugar dissolves.
