How to Make Frozen Candy Grapes

Prepare Fresh Grapes
Clean and thoroughly dry grapes for proper coating adhesion.
Create Flavor Coating
Combine sweet and tangy elements for a perfect candy shell.
Apply Even Coverage
Coat grapes with attention to complete coverage.
Freeze for Transformation
Allow freezing to create the signature texture and experience.
Baking Tips
For the best coating adhesion, make sure grapes are completely dry before applying the sugar mixture.
Try different gelatin flavors to create variety - strawberry, lime, and blue raspberry all work great.
For a healthier version, use sugar-free gelatin powder and monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar.
Thread frozen grapes onto skewers for easy handling and an attractive presentation.
Store frozen candy grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
2 pounds seedless grapes (green or red)
02
3 ounces flavored gelatin powder (any flavor)
03
1/4 cup granulated sugar
04
2 tablespoons citric acid (for sour version, optional)
05
2 tablespoons water
06
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for adherence)
07
Wooden skewers or toothpicks (optional)

Instructions

01
Wash grapes thoroughly and remove stems. Pat dry completely with paper towels.
02
If grapes are still damp, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to ensure they're completely dry.
03
In a small bowl, combine the flavored gelatin powder and granulated sugar. If making sour candy grapes, add citric acid.
04
In a separate small bowl, combine water and lemon juice (if using).
05
Working in batches, lightly spritz or dip grapes in the water mixture to moisten the surface.
06
Immediately transfer moistened grapes to the gelatin-sugar mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
07
Place coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
08
Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
09
Once frozen, transfer the grapes to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for storage.
10
Remove from freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow them to slightly soften for the best texture.
