- Meanwhile, grate zest from grapefruit to equal 1 tsp. Peel grapefruit; section over a bowl to catch juice, reserving 1/3 cup juice and segments separately. Reserve any remaining juice for another use. Whisk zest and salt into 1/3 cup juice.
- Whisk together egg whites and yolks in a large bowl until creamy and light in color; whisk in cream and butter.
- Stir together sugar, flour, and cornmeal in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk sugar mixture into egg mixture, one-third at a time, until blended. Whisk in grapefruit juice mixture. Spoon filling into cooled tart shell.
