Description
These 3-Ingredient Frozen Candied Grapes are a refreshing and healthy sweet treat perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer. Made with green grapes coated in a tangy mixture of monk fruit sweetener and lime juice, then frozen to create a delightful frosty candy-like bite. Optional citric acid adds an extra zing reminiscent of classic candied fruits without the added sugar.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 cups green grapes, cleaned
Sugar Substitute
- 1 cup monk fruit sweetener (granulated)
Additional Flavoring
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2-3 teaspoons citric acid (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make freezing easier.
- Clean and Juice Grapes: Thoroughly wash the grapes and place them in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from 2 limes over the grapes.
- Marinate: Stir the grapes and lime juice together until well coated. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Prepare Sweet Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the monk fruit sweetener and citric acid if using. Mix well to distribute evenly.
- Coat Grapes: Remove grapes from the fridge. Using a spoon or your hands, roll each grape individually in the sweetener mixture until fully coated.
- Freeze: Place the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared parchment-lined baking dish. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours until firm and frosty.
Notes
- You can substitute the monk fruit sweetener with erythritol or a natural granulated sweetener of your choice.
- The citric acid is optional but adds a pleasant tartness that balances the sweetness.
- Make sure grapes are dry before coating to help the sweetener stick better.
- Store the frozen candied grapes in an airtight container in the freezer and consume within 1 week for best taste and texture.
- Great as a healthy alternative to sugary candy snacks, perfect for kids and adults alike.
