Ingredients
- 200 grams green grapes
- 1 large egg whites
- 100 grams granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the green grapes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Separate the egg white from the yolk and place the egg white in a small bowl. Discard or save the yolk for another recipe.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spread the granulated sugar evenly on a shallow plate or dish.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Roll the coated grapes in the granulated sugar until fully covered, ensuring an even layer of sugar adheres to the surface.
Step 7
Place the frosted grapes on a parchment-lined tray or plate, making sure they do not touch each other to avoid sticking.
Step 8
Allow the grapes to dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This step helps the sugar set and creates the frosted effect.
Step 9
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.
