Ingredients
- 500 grams seedless grapes (any variety, preferably green or red)
- 50 grams gelatin powder (flavored, such as grape, strawberry, or lime)
- 50 milliliters water (cold or ice-cold)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the grapes thoroughly under cold water, and pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Leave them slightly damp to help the gelatin powder adhere better.
Step 2
Transfer the grapes into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Sprinkle the cold water evenly over the grapes and gently toss to ensure all the grapes are slightly moistened. Be careful not to crush the grapes.
Step 4
Pour the gelatin powder onto a large plate or shallow bowl, spreading it out evenly. Choose your preferred flavor to complement the grapes.
Step 5
Roll the damp grapes in the gelatin powder in small batches, ensuring each grape is coated evenly. Use a spoon or your hands to gently press if needed.
Step 6
Place the coated grapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a flat serving tray in a single layer to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Allow the grapes to sit for about 5-10 minutes so the gelatin powder can set and develop its sparkling effect.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a fun snack or refrigerate for up to 24 hours in an airtight container for a chilled treat.
