Looking for a fun, elegant, and refreshing dessert? Look no further! Champagne grapes are the perfect treat for any day, any time. These delightful morsels are soaked in champagne, rolled in sugar, and frozen to create a tantalizing treat that's light in calories and big on flavor.

ingredients

  • 2 cups of fresh grapes (red or green)
  • 1 cup of champagne (or prosecco for a sweeter twist) We love this paired with Candoni or Lamberti)
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

directions

  1. Prep the Grapes: Start by rinsing the grapes under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems and place the grapes in a shallow bowl.

  2. Soak in Champagne: Pour the champagne (or prosecco) over the grapes, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The longer they soak, the more pronounced the flavor.

  3. Roll in Sugar: After soaking, drain the grapes and discard the champagne. Roll each grape in granulated sugar until fully coated. For an extra touch of elegance, use a mix of regular and coarse sugar.

  4. Freeze: Spread the sugar-coated grapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the grapes are fully frozen.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these sparkling treats straight from the freezer as a refreshing dessert on a hot day, or add them to a cheese platter for a touch of sophistication. They also make a fantastic garnish for cocktails or a unique addition to a fruit salad.

Whether you're hosting a fancy dinner party or just looking to treat yourself, these champagne grapes are sure to impress. Light, flavorful, and oh-so-refreshing, they're the perfect way to add a bit of sparkle to your day. Enjoy!
