Creamy Grape Delight πŸ‡πŸ˜‹

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 pounds green grapes, seedless (rinsed and dried)
  • 2 pounds red grapes, seedless (rinsed and dried)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Optional: Pecans for extra crunch

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Grapes:
    • Rinse and thoroughly dry the green and red grapes. Set them aside.
  2. Creamy Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
    • Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. This forms the creamy base for the salad.
  3. Combine with Grapes:
    • Gently fold the green and red grapes into the creamy mixture, ensuring that all the grapes are evenly coated.
  4. Sweet Drizzle:
    • Sprinkle the brown sugar over the grape and cream mixture. Gently fold it in, ensuring the sugar is evenly distributed and begins to dissolve into the cream.
  5. Chill and Marinate:
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld, and the salad to chill.
  6. Optional Crunch:
    • If you love a bit of crunch, add pecans just before serving. You can either fold them into the salad or sprinkle them on top for a delightful texture contrast.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once sufficiently chilled, give the salad a final gentle stir, ensuring the creamy mixture coats each grape. Serve it in a beautiful bowl and watch it disappear at family gatherings, potlucks, or as a sweet side dish to any meal.
