Yogurt-Dipped Frozen Grapes
These Yogurt-Dipped Frozen Grapes are a refreshing and healthy snack, combining the natural sweetness of grapes with the creamy tang of Greek yogurt for a perfect cool treat.
For 2 servings
Thoroughly wash the grapes under cold water and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Moisture will prevent the yogurt from sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents the grapes from sticking to the sheet.
Using a toothpick or a small fork, dip each grape into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess yogurt.
Place the coated grapes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other to prevent them from freezing together.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt coating is completely firm and the grapes are frozen solid.
Once frozen, transfer the yogurt-dipped grapes to an airtight freezer-safe container or resealable bag for longer storage. Enjoy them straight from the freezer as a cool, refreshing snack.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Ensure grapes are completely dry before dipping; any moisture will make the yogurt slide off.
- 2For easier dipping, insert a toothpick into each grape before coating, then gently remove it before freezing.
- 3Experiment with different yogurt flavors like vanilla or lemon, but adjust the added sweetener accordingly.
- 4Store frozen grapes in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain their best texture for up to 2 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
While you can, Greek yogurt is highly recommended due to its thicker consistency, which adheres better to the grapes and creates a more substantial coating when frozen. Regular yogurt may result in a thinner, icier coating.
