A healthier version of creme brûlée! The crunchy, caramelized sugar on top compliments the tartness of the grapefruit.

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom (or more to taste)
Instructions
  1. Slice the grapefruit in half and segment it, separating the grapefruit from the membrane. Slice off a small bit of the rind on either end so that the halves sit without wobbling around. Place halves on a paper towel, cut side down, to drain slightly, about 5 mins.
  2. Mix together brown sugar and cardamom, adding more sugar/spice to taste. Sprinkle on top of grapefruit.
  3. Brown tops of the grapefruit with a creme brûlée torch until sugar caramelizes and hardens, 5-8 minutes. Let cool before serving, then dig in!
Notes
If you don't have a creme brûlée torch (you really should) you can always bake these in the oven! Broil for about 3-5 minutes until the sugar caramelizes and hardens.
