Add a touch of elegance to your drinks, desserts, or charcuterie boards with these glistening Frosted Green Grapes for Garnish. Made with just three simple ingredients—green grapes, egg whites, and granulated sugar—this quick and easy recipe takes only 15 minutes of prep time but delivers stunning results. The technique of lightly coating the grapes in frothy egg whites before rolling them in sugar creates a delicate frost-like texture that sparkles beautifully. Perfect for cocktails, cakes, or festive platters, these frosted grapes are as versatile as they are visually striking. Plus, they’re easy to make ahead, drying at room temperature to achieve the perfect finish. Whether you're hosting a holiday gathering or crafting a show-stopping centerpiece, these frosted grapes will add a delightful, decorative touch.
Thoroughly wash the green grapes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Separate the egg white from the yolk and place the egg white in a small bowl. Discard or save the yolk for another recipe.
Use a fork or whisk to slightly beat the egg white until it becomes frothy. This step ensures better adhesion of the sugar to the grapes.
Spread the granulated sugar evenly on a shallow plate or dish.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each grape with a thin layer of egg white. Alternatively, you can dip the grapes into the egg white using a skewer to handle them gently.
Roll the coated grapes in the granulated sugar until fully covered, ensuring an even layer of sugar adheres to the surface.
Place the frosted grapes on a parchment-lined tray or plate, making sure they do not touch each other to avoid sticking.
Allow the grapes to dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This step helps the sugar set and creates the frosted effect.
Once dried, use the frosted green grapes as a garnish for drinks, desserts, or charcuterie boards. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
