Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups seedless green grapes (washed and dried)
Coating
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free lime gelatin powder or powdered citric acid blend (such as True Lime or a sour candy mix)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon monk fruit or stevia sweetener for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare the Grapes: Place clean, dry grapes in a large bowl to ensure they are ready for coating.
- Coat with Lime Juice: Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the grapes and toss gently until all grapes are evenly coated to infuse the tangy flavor.
- Mix Sour Coating: In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, combine the sugar-free lime gelatin powder or sour powder with the optional monk fruit or stevia sweetener if desired, creating the sour candy coating mix.
- Coat Grapes in Sour Mixture: Add the lime-coated grapes to the sour mixture container and shake or toss thoroughly until each grape is fully covered with the sour powder.
- Freeze the Grapes: Spread the coated grapes 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 firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, enjoy your tangy frozen grapes straight from the freezer as a cooling, sour candy alternative.
Notes
- Red grapes can be substituted, but green grapes provide the most tangy and vibrant flavor.
- Store any leftover frozen grapes in a freezer-safe container for up to one month to maintain freshness.
- For an extra sour kick, add a pinch of citric acid to the coating mixture.
