Description

Bright, zesty, and naturally vibrant, these Sour Patch Frozen Grapes are a playful treat that delivers a sweet-and-sour candy experience in a healthy way! Fresh green grapes are coated in tangy lime juice then rolled in a superfood-colored monk fruit and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) mixture and then frozen. This fun cool-down summer snack is free from artificial dyes and refined sugars making it perfect for kids and summer pool parties!


Ingredients

Scale

4 cups large green grapes, divided

1 large lime

1 cup monk fruit sweetener, divided

2-4 teaspoons ascorbic acid (vitamin C) powder, divided

1 teaspoon pink pitaya powder

1 teaspoon matcha powder

1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina powder

1/2-1 teaspoon beet powder


Instructions

  1.  Wash the grapes thoroughly, removing the stems, and then pat them completely dry (this helps the coating stick!).
  2.  In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the monk fruit sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid, and one of the superfood powders. Adjust the ratio to your preferred sourness (add 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid if you prefer a more sour taste).
  3.  Squeeze the lime juice over the grapes and gently toss to coat each grape with the lime juice.
  4. Line a baking sheet (that will fit into your freezer) with parchment paper. Working with a few grapes at a time, roll 1 cup of the grapes in the first colored coating, covering each grape completely. Place the coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced far enough apart as to where they’re not touching each other. Once you’re done with that color, repeat the process using another color. Combine another 1/4 cup of the monk fruit sweetener with another 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid and a different colored powder this time. Roll the second cup of grapes in this color. Repeat for the remaining 2 colors.

  5.  Once all grapes are coated, freeze them for 2-3 hours to set the coating. Serve cold for the best sour candy experience! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
