  • 2½ Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp grapefruit juice
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

  • Combine the cream and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Simmer gently, with a steady low bubble, for 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat. Stir in the grapefruit juice, vanilla, and zest, if using. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Pour into a 10-oz ramekin, cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, until set.
