Time 12m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 grapefruits
1/2 cup grapes
1/2 cup fresh berries, of your choice
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Cut grapefruits in half.
  • Carefully remove fruit sections; set aside fruit skins.
  • Mix grapefruit sections with grapes and berries in a small bowl.
  • You can add a bit of sugar, if you'd like them sweeter. Sometimes I sprinkle them with orange juice, although if you'd like them to be very fancy, you could toss the fruit with a little bit of champagne.
  • Refill grapefruit skins with berry mix.
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a cold mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in sugar.
  • Cover fruit with merangue.
  • Bake at about 500 degrees until just golden brown.
  • It's easiest just to keep an eye on them until they look right; it really dos't take that long.

KELLYMAC'S BAKED GRAPEFRUIT



Kellymac's Baked Grapefruit image

This is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. By heating the grapefruit up you really bring out the flavors. I usually skip the mint unless I have it on hand, but it makes it look nicer and adds a nice flavor if you are serving to guests.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large pink grapefruits
6 tablespoons sugar
4 large egg whites
4 large scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 pint)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Halve grapefruits crosswise and with a grapefruit knife cut out sections from between membranes. Transfer sections and any juices to a large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons sugar. Gently peel away and discard inner membranes from grapefruit halves, leaving rinds intact, to form 4 hollow, dry cups. Divide grapefruit mixture among cups.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat egg whites on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium and beat until whites just hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and beat on high speed until meringue is stiff and glossy.
  • Put 1 scoop ice cream in each cup and top with meringue, spreading evenly to seal edges. Put cups on a baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden. Serve immediately.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 grapefruits
4 teaspoons clear honey or 4 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Halve grapefruits and remove pith with a knife.
  • Loosen the sections.
  • Pour some honey into the centre of each grapefruit. Alternately drizzle the top with honey or maple syrup (thanks Ladypit!).
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Bake at 190C/375F for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the grapefruit zest, use a vegetable peeler or a microplane grater.
  • Make sure the grapefruit segments are completely dry before coating them in the egg white mixture. This will help the meringue stick better.
  • When baking the grapefruit Alaska, keep a close eye on it to prevent the meringue from browning too much.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue using the broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve the grapefruit Alaska immediately after it's been browned. This will ensure that the meringue is still crispy and the grapefruit is still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Baked grapefruit Alaska is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for special occasions. With its combination of tart grapefruit, sweet meringue, and crunchy almond crust, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
