Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless green grapes
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or granulated stevia
- 1 teaspoon citric acid (optional, for extra sourness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Rinse the seedless green grapes and dry them thoroughly with a clean towel to ensure they freeze properly without clumping.
- Coat with Lime Juice: Place the dried grapes in a large bowl and pour 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over them, then toss them gently until each grape is evenly coated with juice to infuse tangy flavor.
- Mix Sweetener and Sour Powder: In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener with 1 teaspoon citric acid if using, which adds an extra sour punch.
- Coat Grapes with Sweetener Mixture: Sprinkle this sweet-sour mixture over the lime-coated grapes and toss gently to achieve full and even coverage of the sweet and sour coating.
- Freeze Grapes: Spread the coated grapes evenly in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until the grapes are firm and frozen through.
- Store and Serve: Once frozen, transfer the grapes to an airtight container and keep them stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy as a cool, refreshing, and guilt-free snack.
Notes
- Green grapes yield the best classic sour candy flavor, though red grapes can be used for a sweeter variation.
- You can adjust the amount of citric acid to make the grapes more or less sour according to your preference.
- This recipe is a great low-calorie snack option suitable for both kids and adults, perfect for warm weather or anytime cravings.
- Make sure grapes are thoroughly dried before coating to ensure the sweetener mixture sticks properly.
