Ingredients
- 3 grapefruits
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream Special equipment: 6 (4-ounce) ramekins
Directions
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the ends of the grapefruits to stabilize on the cutting board. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and bitter pith from the flesh. Over a small bowl, hold grapefruit in 1 hand and carefully remove the segments by sliding the knife between the flesh and the membrane. Toss grapefruit pieces with brown sugar and vanilla and divide among 6 ramekins. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks. Top each ramekin with 1/4 cup of ice cream. Cover with meringue and bake until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Inedible. Was so embarrassed to have served this to guests. Grapefruit is just way too bitter and thin to bake. It's a citrus. Warm, liquidy, bitter goo with foamy egg on top. Just don't do it.
This may work with something like peaches. if you turn it into a sort of cobbler. But then its a different recipe all together

I like this recipe. I decided to try mandarin oranges instead of grapefruit and it turned out good. I actually want to try mangoes next...: It was quick and easy and a nice change from the usual desserts.

i thought this dessert was delicious - added chopped crystallized ginger to grapefruit. Made the dessert in a coffee cup as suggested. It is easy, fairly healthy ( use frozen yogurt etc. and inexpensive.
Taste the fruit and adjust sugar accordingly. Maybe some people who wrote negative reviews don't like grapefruit!
