Instructions
Prepare the Grapefruit
Cut each grapefruit in half horizontally and carefully scoop out a little of the flesh to create a small well for the sugar.
Mix the Topping
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
Add Butter
Melt the butter and drizzle it over the grapefruit halves. Then, sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over each half.
Brûlée the Grapefruit
Using a kitchen torch, carefully brûlée the sugar topping until it caramelizes and forms a crispy layer. If you don’t have a torch, place the grapefruit halves under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serve
Allow the grapefruit to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your brûléed grapefruit warm!
