Ingredients
Scale
Grapes
- 2 cups green or red seedless grapes, washed and removed from stems
Coating
- 1 box (3 oz) flavored gelatin (Jello) – any flavor like strawberry, lime, or blue raspberry
- Water for rinsing
Instructions
- Prep the Grapes: Rinse grapes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Lightly pat them dry with a paper towel, ensuring they remain slightly damp, as this moisture helps the Jello powder adhere properly to the surface of the grapes.
- Coat the Grapes: Pour the flavored gelatin powder into a shallow bowl or a resealable zip-top bag. Add the damp grapes and gently roll or toss them until each grape is fully coated in the gelatin powder, ensuring an even layer of flavor and color.
- Freeze the Grapes: Arrange the coated grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the grapes are frozen solid, developing a crunchy candy shell from the gelatin coating.
- Serve: Once frozen, serve the grapes immediately as a sweet and vibrant frozen snack. They’re best enjoyed straight from the freezer while still crisp and cool.
Notes
- You can mix and match different Jello flavors to create a variety of colorful and fun grapes.
- Best served frozen to enjoy the crisp texture and tangy flavor.
- Store any leftover coated grapes in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
