Using a culinary torch is the best way to caramelize the sugar into a candy shell, but you can also make this old-school breakfast treat using your broiler.

Ingredients

2 grapefruits, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons raw sugar
Special Equipment
A kitchen torch

Steps:

Trim 1/4"-1/2" of peel from bottom of each grapefruit half to stabilize the fruit and prevent it from rocking back and forth. Place grapefruit, cut side down, on paper towels to dry for 5 minutes. Invert grapefruit and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over exposed flesh of each grapefruit half. Using a kitchen torch, heat sugar until melted and beginning to turn dark amber.
Alternatively, preheat broiler. Transfer grapefruit, cut side up, to a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Broil grapefruit, watching closely to prevent burning, until the sugar is melted and beginning to turn dark amber, about 8 minutes. Let grapefruit cool before serving.

Tips:

Choose ripe grapefruits with a deep yellow or pink color for the best flavor.
Use a sharp knife to remove the zest from the grapefruit in long, thin strips. Avoid cutting into the white pith, as this will add bitterness to the dish.
To make the brûlée topping, use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar evenly. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can place the grapefruit halves under a broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning the sugar.
If you're using a kitchen torch, be sure to hold it at least 6 inches away from the sugar to avoid burning it.
Serve the grapefruit brûlée immediately, while the sugar is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Grapefruit brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up ripe grapefruits, and it's sure to impress your guests. With its sweet and tangy flavor, and its beautiful presentation, grapefruit brûlée is a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
