Using a culinary torch is the best way to caramelize the sugar into a candy shell, but you can also make this old-school breakfast treat using your broiler.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 grapefruits, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons raw sugar
Special Equipment
A kitchen torch

Steps:

  • Trim 1/4"-1/2" of peel from bottom of each grapefruit half to stabilize the fruit and prevent it from rocking back and forth. Place grapefruit, cut side down, on paper towels to dry for 5 minutes. Invert grapefruit and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over exposed flesh of each grapefruit half. Using a kitchen torch, heat sugar until melted and beginning to turn dark amber.
  • Alternatively, preheat broiler. Transfer grapefruit, cut side up, to a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Broil grapefruit, watching closely to prevent burning, until the sugar is melted and beginning to turn dark amber, about 8 minutes. Let grapefruit cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh grapefruit: Fresh grapefruit will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Zest the grapefruit before juicing: This will help to release the essential oils and give your brûlée a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be thick and creamy, but not too firm. It should also have a slight wobble to it.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar: This will give you a nice, even caramelized crust.
  • Serve the brûlée immediately: The brûlée is best served fresh, when the sugar crust is still warm and crisp.

Conclusion:

Grapefruit brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its bright and citrusy flavor, grapefruit brûlée is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give grapefruit brûlée a try.
