Want a super easy, awesomely healthy dessert idea? Try this one on for size:
Grapefruit Brulee (a.k.a. the best grapefruit you will ever eat).
A nice thick layer of caramelized sugar and grapefruit juice combats the bitterness of this pink fruit far better than plain old sugar, and a sprinkling of coarsely ground sea salt even further ups the sweetness. I'd never eaten a grapefruit before and thought "wow," but today I did.
Best thing about it? Grapefruits are ready made for two servings and throwing this dessert together takes less than five minutes. Really it couldn't get any simpler.
Grapefruit Brulee
recipe from Alton Brown
1 grapefruit, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons sugar
A pinch of coarse ground sea salt
Run a knife along each segment, loosening the flesh from the pith. Pour off whatever excess juice cutting the segments creates.
Sprinkle each half evenly with the sugar and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden. While the sugar is still warm, sprinkle with the salt and serve.
