Grapefruit is loved by many for a quick breakfast food that’s full of vitamin C and antioxidant properties. For some, its flavor can be a little too tart on its own. That’s why I like to use grapefruit as a healthier dessert option instead of a plain breakfast dish. Grapefruit brulee is easy to make, sweetens the tartness of the grapefruit, and adds a fun sugary shell to crack through while you’re eating. This recipe can be applied to other citrus fruits, such as oranges and tangerines. You will need a brulee torch for this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 grapefruit, halved
- Granulated organic white sugar to coat
Directions:
- Take each grapefruit half and blot with a paper towel to help dry the surface.
- Sprinkle sugar over each cut half until thoroughly coated.
- With the brulee torch, melt the sugar until it bubbles and becomes amber colored and starts to bubble. Make sure to melt all of the sugar.
- Allow to cool and harden, then crack open with a spoon and enjoy!
