Mmm, I really enjoyed this recipe. I love pink grapefruit, and this was a great healthy dessert. Perfect blend of sweet with sour.

This is positively delicious! The sweet Cool Whip and cinnamon are perfect with the bitter grapefruit. Great for a snack, dessert or even breakfast!

i thought this was a good light healthy dessert, or even snack. the whip cream works well with the grapefruit, it evens out the bitter with the sweet.

Great alternative to loading the grapefruit up with sugar in the morning. I never would have guessed it, but the warm grapefruit is really good! Great for breakfast or a healthier snack.

This recipie reminds me of when I was younger except we omitted the cinnamon and used grenadine for flavor.

This is wonderful.I made a variation for years using brown sugar on top and broiling them.Served with a cherry on top,my children though it was a very fancy treat.Both ways are great.
