Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups green grapes, cleaned
- 1 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 2 limes, juiced
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2–3 teaspoons citric acid (optional)
Instructions
- Meticulously wash fresh grapes under cool running water, ensuring all surfaces are cleansed of any potential residue.
- Pat the grapes completely dry using clean paper towels to promote optimal sugar adherence and prevent excess moisture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice evenly over the grapes, gently rolling them to ensure complete coverage and enhance flavor complexity.
- Allow the lime-coated grapes to rest in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes, enabling the citrus to slightly penetrate the grape’s surface.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine monk fruit sweetener and finely ground citric acid, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform coating mixture.
- Carefully transfer the chilled, lime-kissed grapes into the sweetener blend, gently tumbling them to ensure each grape receives an even, crystalline coating.
- Prepare a large baking sheet or dish by lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for freezing.
- Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent clumping.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the grapes to solidify completely, typically requiring 2 to 3 hours until they develop a crisp, frosty exterior.
- Once fully frozen, transfer the candied grapes to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a refreshing, guilt-free treat.
Notes
- Freezing transforms ordinary grapes into a delightful, crunchy treat that’s perfect for hot summer days.
- Citric acid adds a tangy twist, balancing the sweetness and creating a unique flavor profile.
- Monk Fruit sweetener provides a clean, natural sugar alternative without added calories.
- Lime juice helps the coating stick and adds a bright, zesty undertone to the frozen snack.
- Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze, ensuring easy removal of your frosty grape gems.
