Ingredients
Scale
Grapes
- 3 cups seedless grapes (red, green, or mixed)
Coating
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare grapes: Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry completely with paper towels and remove stems to facilitate even freezing and easier eating.
- Apply optional coating: In a large bowl, toss the clean grapes with fresh lemon or lime juice. Then, sprinkle sugar and optional cinnamon over the grapes and gently roll them to ensure an even coating of the sweet and tangy mixture.
- Arrange grapes for freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated grapes evenly in a single layer. This prevents them from sticking together as they freeze.
- Freeze grapes: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the grapes for a minimum of 2 hours until they are completely frozen and icy.
- Store frozen grapes: Transfer the frozen grapes into an airtight container or freezer bag for easy storage and to maintain their icy texture.
- Serve chilled snack: Enjoy the frozen grapes directly from the freezer as a delicious and refreshing snack anytime.
Notes
- Using fresh lemon or lime juice enhances the flavor and prevents the grapes from clumping together.
- The cinnamon is optional but adds a lovely warm spice note.
- Ensure grapes are completely dry before coating to help sugar stick better.
- Frozen grapes are best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness.
- Use seedless grapes for convenience and ease of eating.
- This snack is naturally vegan, low calorie, and gluten free.
