Grapefruit brulee is an simple dessert requiring only two ingredients: sugar and grapefruit.  With citrus season in full swing, the grapefruits are at their best, sweet and juicy.  The grapefruit halves are caramelized using a blow torch (available at the hardware store).  You can also place the grapefruit under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brulee the fruit.  The sugar crystallizes to create a golden brown crust that pairs perfectly with the tart grapefruit.  Finish this dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.  Grapefruit brulee is really that easy!
