Grapefruit Brûlée
Craving something sweet but missing the ingredients to whip up your favorite treat? Satisfy your sweet tooth with this surprisingly simple recipe that only uses two ingredients! Grapefruit and sugar, that’s it! Savor the flavors when sweet meets tart while grapefruits are in season this winter.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 organic grapefruits, halved crosswise
- 4 tablespoons raw sugar
Directions:
Trim 1/4–1/2″ of peel from bottom of each grapefruit half to stabilize the fruit and prevent it from rocking back and forth. Place grapefruit, cut side down, on paper towels to dry for 5 minutes. Invert grapefruit and sprinkle 1 Tbsp. sugar evenly over exposed flesh of each grapefruit half. Using a kitchen torch, heat sugar until melted and beginning to turn dark amber.
No kitchen torch? No problem! Alternatively, preheat broiler. Transfer grapefruit, cut side up, to a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Broil grapefruit, watching closely to prevent burning, until the sugar is melted and beginning to turn dark amber, about 8 minutes. Let grapefruit cool before serving.
