- prep · ~5 min
Wash and dry the grapes completely.
Rinse the grapes under cool water and pat each one completely dry with a kitchen towel. Any moisture on the grapes will prevent the yogurt from sticking.
TIPReally dry them well — even a little water thins the yogurt coating and causes ice crystals. - prep · ~5 min
Line a baking sheet and insert toothpicks.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully insert a toothpick into the stem-end of each grape. This gives you a handle for easy dipping.
- mix · ~2 min
Make the sweetened yogurt dip.
In a small bowl, whisk together the thick yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to cling to the grapes.
TIPIf your yogurt is runny, strain it through a cheesecloth for 30 minutes first to prevent drips. - assemble · ~10 min
Dip each grape in the yogurt mixture.
Holding a grape by the toothpick, dip it into the yogurt mixture, twirling to coat it completely. Let the excess drip off for a moment, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all grapes.
TIPWork in small batches so the yogurt bowl doesn't get too warm. - rest · ~60 min
Freeze the grapes until solid.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the yogurt coating is firm and the grapes are frozen solid.
TIPOnce fully frozen, you can transfer them to a zip-top bag for easier storage. - serve · ~1 min
Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.
Take the grapes off the baking sheet, gently twist out the toothpicks, and serve right away in a chilled bowl.
TIPThey soften quickly, so only take out what you plan to eat right now.
What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Dry grapes thoroughly with a paper towel so the yogurt coating adheres without sliding off.
- 2Chill the bowl and whisk before mixing the yogurt dip to keep it thick and easy to work with.
- 3Work in small batches of 10–12 grapes so the yogurt dip stays cold and doesn't thin out.
- 4Use a small, deep bowl for dipping so you can submerge each grape completely with one motion.
- 5For a neater finish, freeze the coated grapes for 10 minutes, then re-dip for a second yogurt layer.
- 6Store frozen yogurt grapes in a single layer in a zip-top bag; they'll keep for up to 1 month.

Frequently asked questions
Not recommended. Thawed frozen grapes release excess moisture, which makes the yogurt slide off. Always start with fresh, thoroughly dried grapes.
