Description
Freeze grapes dipped in Greek yogurt and crushed nuts for bite-sized frozen treats. These are ready in 2 hours with only 3 main ingredients.
Ingredients
- 60 large seedless grapes (red or green), about 1 pound
- ¾ cup full-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup finely chopped mixed nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 60 toothpicks
Instructions
- Remove grapes from stems, wash them well under cold water, and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Place dried grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 2 hours until completely frozen solid.
- Finely chop mixed nuts and spread them on a shallow plate or bowl.
- If you choose, stir honey into the vanilla Greek yogurt in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
- Remove frozen grapes from the freezer and insert one toothpick into each grape for easy dipping.
- Work quickly; dip each frozen grape into the yogurt, coating about two-thirds of the grape, and let the excess drip off.
- Immediately roll the yogurt-covered grape in the chopped nuts, pressing gently to help the nuts stick to the yogurt coating.
- Place each dipped grape back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until all grapes are coated.
- Return the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 more hours until the yogurt shell is completely frozen solid before you serve them.
Notes
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before the first freeze; water creates ice crystals.
- Freeze grapes solid before dipping so the yogurt sets fast and makes a thick shell.
- Stir the yogurt well before dipping to keep it smooth and prevent separation.
- Work fast when dipping frozen grapes; they will start to thaw and make the yogurt runny.
- Remove toothpicks carefully before eating, or serve them with toothpicks still in for easy holding.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, separating layers with parchment paper.
- Let them sit out 2 to 3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
