ingredients
- 2 grapefruits
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar (I used Spenda brown sugar blend)
- 1⁄2 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
directions
- With a sharp knife cut off both ends of the grapefruit (I used large red grapefruit).
- Set grapefruit on flat end on a cutting board and cut away and discard peel and membranes. Section grapefruit, discarding membrane.
- Preheat broiler (see my notes in the description).
- Arrange grapefruit in single serving ovenproof dishes (such as individual gratin dishes).
- Sprinkle with brown sugar or the splenda.
- Broil until sugar melts and darkens (5 minutes).
- Serve warm with yogurt.
- ***When I made these I had two for dessert as in the directions above. But the remaining two I put in the fridge and reheated for breakfast in the microwave for a minute or so and then topped with the nonfat plain greek style yogurt. In the microwave the spenda gets syruppy and mixes well with the grapefruit and yogurt. As greek style yogurt (I bought mine at Trader Joe's) isn't always easy to buy, I think next time I will use plain nonfat yogurt instead.

3 Stars. This is an unusual combination. My dilemma is that I really like grapefruit with just a little sugar and plain yogurt with just a little sugar, or broiled grapefruit with brown sugar and brandy (forget the yogurt). This recipe's combination did not improve upon any of those combinations for me. The Greek yogurt was very creamy so I liked it as a substitute for whipped cream. Made for Newest Zaar Tag *08A.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
