Ingredients

  • 1 grapefruit halved
  • 4 teaspoon brown sugar divided
  • cinnamon for dusting
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  • Use a paring knife to cut around the outside of the grapefruit and to separate the segments. Sprinkle each half of the grapefruit with 2 teaspoon of brown sugar. Dust each half with a bit of cinnamon.
  • Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the brown sugar is bubbly and is beginning to caramelize. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
  • Let it cool for a minute or two before topping with whipped cream and a little more cinnamon.
