Ingredients

Salad:

  • 2 lbs green seedless grapes

  • 2 lbs red seedless grapes

  • 8 oz sour cream

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (to taste)

Instructions

Instructions Step 1:

Thoroughly wash the green and red grapes, then pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside in a large bowl.

Step 2:

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3:

Gently fold the grapes into the creamy mixture using a spatula, being careful not to bruise the fruit. Stir until all grapes are fully coated.

Step 4:

Transfer the creamy grape mixture into a large serving dish or trifle bowl. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even presentation.

Step 5:

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and crushed pecans. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the surface of the grape salad.

Step 6:

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the topping to settle into the salad.

Step 7:

Serve chilled and enjoy a spoonful of this cool, creamy, and crunchy dessert!

Notes

  • Make sure the grapes are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent the creamy mixture from becoming watery.

  • Softening the cream cheese before mixing is crucial to achieve a smooth texture without lumps.
