Ingredients
- 4 cups green grapes, cleaned
- 1 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener, granulated
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2-3 tsp citric acid (optional, more to taste)
Directions
- Prep Your Workspace: Begin by covering a large baking dish with parchment paper. This will make it easier to transfer the grapes in and out of the freezer without sticking.
- Prepare the Grapes: Clean your grapes thoroughly under cold water, ensuring all dirt and debris are removed. After cleaning, transfer the grapes to a large bowl.
- Marinate the Grapes: Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the grapes. Gently toss the grapes with a spoon to ensure they are evenly coated with the lime juice. Let the grapes sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to soak up the citrusy flavor.
- Coat with Sweetener: In a medium bowl, combine the Monk Fruit sweetener and citric acid (if using). Remove the grapes from the fridge and roll each grape in the sweetener mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
- Freeze: Place the coated grapes onto the prepared parchment-lined baking dish, ensuring they are spread out and not touching each other. This will help them freeze individually. Transfer the baking dish to the freezer and freeze the grapes for 2-3 hours, or until they are fully frozen.
