Juicy grapes coated in lime sugar and frozen for a crisp, cooling summer treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 cups seedless grapes (red or green), washed and dried

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Incredibly easy to make with just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time
  • A naturally sweet and healthy snack that's vegetarian and gluten-free
  • The bright lime zest adds a refreshing citrus twist that elevates simple grapes
  • Perfect for hot summer days when you need a cooling treat that's lighter than ice cream
  • Fun to eat and visually appealing, making them great for kids and adults alike
02 -
  • Make sure grapes are completely dry before coating—any moisture will cause the sugar to dissolve and create ice crystals
  • Use a fine microplane to zest the lime for the most aromatic and evenly distributed flavor
  • Don't skip the parchment paper—it prevents the skewers from freezing to the tray
  • Serve immediately from the freezer for the best texture; they'll start to thaw and lose their frosty appeal after about 10 minutes at room temperature
  • For meal prep, make a large batch and store in a freezer-safe container with parchment between layers
