Scale
Fruit
- 4 cups seedless red grapes (washed and patted dry)
- 4 cups seedless green grapes (washed and patted dry)
Dairy & Sweeteners
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Combine with grapes: Gently fold in the red and green grapes into the creamy mixture, making sure all grapes are fully coated without breaking them.
- Transfer and smooth: Pour and spread the grape and cream mixture evenly into a serving dish or large bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Prepare topping: In a small bowl, mix the chopped pecans or walnuts with the brown sugar until well combined.
- Finish and chill: Sprinkle the nut and brown sugar mixture evenly over the grape mixture. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill properly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch and enhanced flavor, toast the nuts lightly before adding them.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version of the dessert.
- This dessert is best served cold, straight from the refrigerator.
