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 your brûlée a brighter flavor and a more vibrant color.
  • Zest the grapefruit before juicing it: This will help to release the grapefruit's essential oils and give your brûlée a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but it should not be too thick or it will become rubbery.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar: This will give the sugar a crispy, caramelized topping.
  • Serve the brûlée immediately: The brûlée is best served immediately after it is made, while the sugar is still crispy.

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 preferences. With its bright citrus flavor and caramelized sugar topping, grapefruit brûlée is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
