* Serving size: 1/2 grapefruit

Ingredients

• 2 red or pink grapefruit
• 8 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom
• 2 teaspoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons nonfat or low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1. Position oven rack about 3 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

2. Cut each grapefruit in half, then trim a thin slice off the bottom so it sits level. With a paring knife or grapefruit knife, cut around each segment; remove any seeds. Place the grapefruit halves on the prepared baking sheet. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon (or cardamom) in a small bowl. Brush each grapefruit half with butter, then sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons of the sugar mixture.

3. Broil the grapefruit, watching carefully and rotating the pan front to back once halfway through, until the tops are bubbling and golden brown, 7 to 12 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, beat cream in a small bowl until stiff. Beat in yogurt, granulated sugar and vanilla just until combined. Serve each grapefruit topped with a heaping tablespoon of the vanilla cream.
