Ingredients

  • 1 large grapefruit
  • 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2/3  cup  fat-free plain greek yogurt, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Prepare your blueberry sauce first by combining blueberries, water, orange juice, and brown sugar together in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.  Reduce heat to medium low and add vanilla and cinnamon to sauce.  Let simmer 10 more minutes or until sauce thickens.
  • To make the Grapefruit Brûlée: Slice the grapefruit in half. Make slit cuts in grapefruit like pictured above.  Place the grapefruit into a baking dish facing up. Top each grapefruit half with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.  Broil the grapefruit until bubbling and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Drizzle extra juices over each serving.
  • Top each Grapefruit Brûlée with 1/3 cup greek yogurt. Drizzle with warm blueberry sauce.
  • Serve immediately while still warm.
  • Serves 2
