Ingredients
Scale
- 2 grapefruits
- 4–5 tablespoons raw sugar
Instructions
- Preheat broiler. Trim ¼-inch off the top and bottom of the grapefruits so they don’t wobble. Then, cut in half crosswise.
- Place grapefruit halves facedown on a paper towel for 5 minutes to dry off tops. Arrange grapefruit halves flesh side up and evenly cover the tops with sugar.
- Place grapefruit under the broiler (keeping a close eye on them!) until the sugar caramelizes and becomes a deep amber color, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Let completely cool before serving. Optional: Add a dollop of yogurt and pistachios to top your brûléed grapefruit.
Notes
Note: If you have a kitchen torch on hand, you can use that instead of the broiler in Step 3.
