Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup dried coconut chips or shredded coconut
2 grapefruits (I like Texas Rio or other Texas grapefruits for their sweetness)
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons coconut sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Heat oven broiler on high. Cut your grapefruits in half and place them cut-side-up on a rimmed cookie sheet. If they do not sit flat, cut a little off of the bottoms of the halves to create a flat surface.
  • Place 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add the ginger and rub the ginger into the sugar with your fingers.
  • Crumble the gingered sugar evenly over each grapefruit half. Sprinkle 1 additional teaspoon coconut sugar over the tops of each half, taking care to cover any spots couldn't cover with the gingered sugar. Place in oven directly under broiler and broil until the sugar is bubble, melted, and golden in spots, about 5 minutes (but the time can really vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them from the get go and know it could take anywhere from 2 - 8 minutes).
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle each half with the toasted coconut. Serve with spoons (serrated grapefruit spoons are great if you have them!)

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 grapefruit
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 teaspoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven's broiler.

  • Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
  • Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 large pink grapefruits

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • In an electric coffee/spice grinder combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and ground fine.
  • Halve each grapefruit crosswise and run knife around each section to loosen membranes. Arrange grapefruits, cut sides up, in a flameproof baking dish or baking pan just large enough to hold them in one layer and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Broil grapefruits about 1 1/2 inches from heat until sugar melts and tops begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve grapefruits at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, select ripe and juicy grapefruit. Look for fruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Use fresh ginger for a more intense and aromatic flavor. If using ground ginger, increase the quantity to 1 teaspoon.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your taste preferences. For a tangier flavor, use less sweetener.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the grapefruit for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes and the grapefruit is slightly browned.

Conclusion:

This Coconut Ginger Broiled Grapefruit is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tartness of grapefruit with the sweetness of coconut and ginger. It's a perfect way to end a meal or enjoy as a light and healthy snack. The caramelized sugar adds a touch of sweetness and crunch that makes this dish irresistible.
