Sugared Champagne Grapes Party (Print-Friendly Version)
Champagne-soaked green grapes sparkle with a sweet sugar coating. Perfect for dessert or festive gatherings.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Fruit Preparation
01 -
2 cups (about 300 grams) green grapes, washed and stems removed
→ Boozy Soak
02 -
375 millilitres Champagne or sparkling wine
→ Finishing Sugar
03 -
120 grams (½ cup) white granulated sugar
# How to Make It:
01 -
Rinse grapes thoroughly under cold water, remove them from stems, and pat dry with a clean towel.
02 -
Place prepared grapes in a medium bowl and pour Champagne over them until the fruit is completely submerged.
03 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow the grapes to absorb the Champagne flavour.
04 -
Pour half of the sugar (60 grams) into a small bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove grapes from Champagne, letting excess liquid drain off. Working with about 10 grapes at a time, roll them gently in the sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate, ensuring grapes do not touch or overlap.
05 -
Replace the sugar when it becomes clumpy with the remaining 60 grams to ensure all grapes are well coated.
06 -
Arrange coated grapes in a single layer and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until grapes are firm and frosty.
07 -
Remove frozen grapes from freezer and serve immediately for a sparkling, chilled treat.
# Extra Information:
01 -
For best texture, do not overlap grapes when freezing to prevent sticking. Use the freshest grapes available for maximum flavour and firm texture.
