Grapefruit with Grand Marnier Sauce
2 Texas Red Grapefruit
1 large kiwi fruit
1/4 cup cook & serve vanilla pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
1/4 cups + 2 teaspoons low-fat milk ( divided)
1 1/2 Tbs orange-flavored liqueur
2 Tbs semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Procedure
-
Grate enough peel from one grapefruit to equal ½ teaspoon.
-
Measure 1/4 cup pudding mix (11/2 of 3 ounce package). In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pudding mix and 1 1/4 cups milk.
-
Cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Remove from heat. Stir in peel and liqueur. Cover and refrigerate until cool. (Mixture will be thin).
-
At serving time, peel and section grapefruit. Peel, quarter and cut kiwi into 1/4-inch slices.
-
In a microwaveable bowl, combine chocolate and remaining 2 teaspoons milk. Microwave on 50% power about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir to thoroughly blend.
To serve
-
place about 4 to 5 tablespoons of the Grand Marnier sauce on 4 plates (8-inches in diameter or larger; dinner plates make a dramatic presentation).
-
Arrange 5 sections of grapefruit in star design over sauce. With a teaspoon, drizzle a tiny stream of chocolate across sauce in between grapefruit sections. Thin chocolate with a few drops of milk, if needed.
-
After drizzling chocolate on each plate, use a sharp tipped knife to cut through the sauce from the center of the edge of the sauce several times between each section to form a decorative design. Garnish each center with a few kiwi slices. Serve immediately.
