Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb red seedless grapes stems removed; halve larger grapes
  • 1 lb green seedless grapes stems removed; halve larger grapes
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.75 cup sour cream full-fat or light
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice optional, brightens flavor
  • 0.13 tsp fine salt a small pinch
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar for topping
  • 0.5 cup pecans chopped; toast if desired

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Rinse and dry the grapes. Remove stems and halve any large ones.
  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  • Whisk in sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until creamy.
  • Fold the grapes into the dressing, gently coating them all over.
  • Spread into a serving dish. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly, then add pecans on top.
  • Chill 20–30 minutes, if time allows, to set and meld flavors.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt, or add a spoonful of toffee bits. Toast pecans for extra crunch. Store covered and chilled up to 3 days; add topping just before serving for best texture.
