Broiled Grapefruit w/Ginger and Maple Cream

By nancystrini

Good even without the cream. Crystallized ginger is a must!

Ingredients

• 2 large ruby red grapefruit, halved
• 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (I used much less, just a sprinkle)
• 2 t finely chopped crystallized ginger
• 3 T heavy cream
• 1/3 c plain 2% Greek yogurt, reduced fat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler to high

Place grapefruit halves on baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and ginger. Broil 8 minutes or until grapefruit begins to char.

Place cream in a chilled medium bowl; beat with a whisk until slightly thickened. Add yogurt, syrup, and vanilla; whisk until fluffy.

Top grapefruit with cream mixture.

*using a metal bowl that's been in the freezer a while and a chilled whisk really helps
