Grilled Boozey Grapefruit (it’s a dessert!)

1 cedar plank, soaked overnight or at least 1 hour

4 pink grapefruits, cut in half

Grand marnier liqueur

1/2 cup (125 ml) liquid honey

Vanilla ice cream

Prepare the grapefruits as if you were going to have them for breakfast, making cuts to loosen the segments in the skin. drizzle each grapefruit with about 1 tsp (5 ml) of the liqueur.

Preheat the grill on medium-high for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chamber temperature rises above 500°F (260°C).

Rinse the soaked plank and place it on the cooking grate. Cover the grill and heat the plank for 4 to 5 minutes or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly.

Place the grapefruit halves, cut side up, on the plank. Close the grill and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook the grapefruit for about 10 minutes. remove the halves from the plank, place them on the dessert plates, and drizzle them with a little more grand marnier and some honey.

Place a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each half and serve.

Makes 8 servings.
