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.
