Ingredients

Servings

• 2 grapefruits

• 50 g grated coconut

• 2 Tbsp cane sugar (or honey or agave syrup)

• 1 Tbsp lime juice

• Mint leaves (for decoration, optional)

Preparation

1. Prepare the grapefruits: Cut the grapefruits in half and carefully remove the flesh using a spoon, taking care not to damage the peel which will serve as the container. Remove the seeds and cut the flesh into small pieces (keep the juice with the pulp).
2. Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, mix the grapefruit pieces with the grated coconut, cane sugar and lime juice. This blend provides a nice combination of sweetness and acidity.
3. Stuff the grapefruits: Return the grapefruit and coconut mixture to the empty grapefruit shells. Garnish with a few mint leaves for a touch of freshness (optional).
4. Refrigerate and serve: Place the stuffed grapefruit halves in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to thoroughly chill the dessert.
