Grapefruit or Crème Brûlée? Fall for this fruity and creamy dessert!
Our passion for fruits in the style of crème brûlée isn’t over yet… After bananas, passion fruit, oranges, lemons or even coconuts, we played with a tart grapefruit version! The cream scented with this sweet and bitter citrus is ultra-silky and the caramelized sugar layer is wonderfully crunchy, it’s impossible to resist so much indulgence. And as always, it’s super easy and quick to make at home.
It’s really the perfect dessert to finish the meal with a fresh, light, and fruity note! To correctly remove the grapefruit flesh, we recommend using a spoon to thoroughly scoop the pulp without piercing the rind. Choose grapefruits with smooth and firm skin and pay attention to their weight: the heavier they are, the juicier they will be. If you see pink marks on the skin, that’s also a sign of a fragrant and juice-packed citrus. So, what do you think of this fruity and tangy grapefruit crème brûlée version? We’re hooked!
