Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 pounds red seedless grapes, rinsed and drained well about 10 cups
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and thick, about 3 minutes.
- Add the grapes to the bowl and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold the grapes into the cream cheese mixture until everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, or overnight.
- Prior to serving, sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped pecans. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Nutritional values are based on one serving
- Grapes: You can use all red grapes (my favorite!), all green, or a mixture of the two based on your personal preferences. Leave them whole
- Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: I used full-fat cream cheese and sour cream because I wanted a nice, thick mixture. Low-fat alternatives have higher water content so if you use low-fat just be aware that your "dressing" could be thinner or slightly more watery.
- Lighter Alternative: Use yogurt in place of the sour cream.
- Brown Sugar Topping: You can sprinkle the brown sugar and pecans before chilling, and the brown sugar will sort of dissolve into the mixture (SO GOOD), but be sure to give it a stir before serving if you do this!
- Make-Ahead: Chill the mixture for at least 1 hour before serving and up to overnight.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that, the grapes will lose their crispness and the mixture will get watery.
