Ingredients

Easy-to-find ingredients make this wholesome treat a breeze to prepare:

A collection of ingredients, including grapes, nuts, yogurt, maple syrup, lime juice and zest and wooden picks, is laid out, with a nearby sheet pan for assembly.
  • Fresh grapes: Take your pick from your favourite grape variety, whether it’s vibrant red, crisp green, or rich black grapes. Ensure they’re thoroughly washed and gently patted dry to keep things fresh.
  • Greek yogurt: Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt, which brings a luscious creaminess to the recipe. The thicker, the better.
  • Lime juice and zest: The zesty, tangy goodness of lime juice and zest adds a burst of citrusy flavour that elevates this snack to a whole new level.
  • Finely chopped walnuts: These crunchy walnuts provide a delightful contrast of texture and a nutty flavour that complements the sweet and tangy elements perfectly.

How to make them

Crafting this treat is a breeze, with just a few simple steps to follow, it’s a walk in the park.

Preparing your Grapes:

Kick things off by giving those grapes a thorough rinse and letting them dry completely. The drier they are, the better, as it helps the yogurt to cling perfectly. Then, line a large baking sheet (you may need two) with parchment paper. It’s best to have everything ready and on hand before you begin.

Yogurt dip and freeze:

A jar of yogurt with lime zest and maple syrup on top, plus a spoon inside, all on a wooden board with wooden flowers nearby.
Step 1: Combine thick Greek yogurt, lime zest and juice in a small deep bowl or mason jar.

Step 3: Freeze your grapes for a candy-like, frosty delight. Freezing them for 2 hours allows the grapes to harden somewhat and the yogurt to set perfectly.

Once frozen to your liking, store them in an airtight container in the freezer.

How do you freeze grapes so they don’t stick together?

Wondering how to freeze grapes without the hassle of them sticking together? Many of you have asked for a handy guide on this, so here’s a little something I’ve put together:

  1. Wash and Dry: Start by thoroughly washing the grapes and then patting them dry. It’s essential to have them as dry as possible.
  2. Spread on a Tray: Next, spread the grapes on a tray or baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
  3. Pre-Freeze: Place the tray of grapes in your freezer for about 2-3 hours before transferring them to an airtight container or resealable freezer bag. This initial freezing prevents them from clumping together.
  4. Airtight Container: Once they’ve pre-frozen, carefully transfer the grapes to an airtight container or freezer bag and seal it.
  5. Label and Freeze: Don’t forget to label the container with the date, and then place it back in the freezer. Now your grapes should remain individual and won’t stick together.

Simply popping frozen grapes directly into your mouth can sometimes lead to an unexpected injury – they may stick to your lips and tongue due to their icy nature. Yes, it’s happened to us! To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, take a moment to let each grape thaw slightly before enjoying.

How long does it take to freeze grapes?

It usually takes around 2 to 3 hours in the freezer to get them to that perfect frosty stage. But, if you’re after a more solid, candy-like vibe, give them about 4 hours. Keep in mind, that it might depend on how chilly your freezer runs and the size of your grapes. So, sneak a peek now and then to make sure they hit your personal level of frozen grape happiness.

Food safe storage

You’ll want to keep your candy grapes snugly nestled in a bag. Not only does this keep their taste intact, but it also prevents them from mingling with the flavours of other freezer inhabitants. So, your next sweet snack will be just as delightful as the first.

Two bowls contain grapes, each on a wooden pick, coated in yogurt and sprinkled with crushed nuts.
