Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 cups green grapes (cleaned)
Sweetener & Flavoring
- 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (granulated)
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 2-3 tsp citric acid (optional, or more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Cover a large baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Clean Grapes: Thoroughly wash the 4 cups of green grapes to remove any dirt or residues.
- Juice Grapes: Place the cleaned grapes in a large bowl and pour in the juice from 2 freshly squeezed limes.
- Marinate: Mix the grapes and lime juice gently with a spoon, then refrigerate and allow the grapes to soak for 10 minutes, enhancing their tartness and helping the sweet coating adhere better.
- Prepare Sweetener Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated Monk Fruit sweetener with 2-3 teaspoons of citric acid (optional), adjusting to your preferred tartness.
- Coat Grapes: Remove grapes from the fridge and individually roll each grape in the Monk Fruit sweetener and citric acid mixture, ensuring each grape is fully coated for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Freeze: Transfer the coated grapes onto the parchment-lined baking dish evenly spaced, then place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours until they are fully frozen and candied.
Notes
- Citric acid is optional but adds a nice tangy flavor similar to sour candy.
- Use granulated Monk Fruit sweetener for coating to mimic the crunch of candied sugar without added calories.
- Make sure grapes are completely dry before coating to ensure the sweetener adheres properly.
- Store finished candied grapes in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- These make a great low-calorie, keto-friendly snack.
