Bruleed Ruby Grapefruit with Chocolate Cream

GLUTEN FREE (if using GF custard powder)

Ingredients Checklist

  • 4 ruby grapefruit
  • 8 tbsp caster sugar
  • 200ml creme fraiche
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachio

Instructions

  • For chocolate cream, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, whisk the custard powder, sugar and egg yolks until smooth in a medium bowl.
  • Bring the milk to the boil in a medium saucepan, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
  • Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens, whisking continuously.
  • Pour the mixture over the chocolate, whisking until combined then whisk in the butter until combined.
  • Transfer to a container, covering the surface with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven grill, cut grapefruit in half and carefully cut through each segment and around the peel (this will make accessing the grapefruit easier).
  • Place cut side down onto paper towel for ten minutes.
  • Place grapefruit onto a foil lined oven tray, sprinkle each grapefruit half with a tablespoon of sugar in an even layer and place under the grill.
  • Cook for 15 minutes or until caramelised. Set aside for five minutes to cool.
  • Serve with a dollop of chocolate cream, drizzled with creme fraiche and sprinkled with pistachio.
