Chocolate Grapes

From the kitchen of Carly

Frozen grapes coated in dark chocolate and dusted with cocoa powder. Cold, crunchy, and surprisingly satisfying as a clean dessert or palate cleanser. The chocolate shell cracks between your teeth while the grape stays icy inside. Simple, elegant, addictive.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11 pound cold firm seedless grapes, stems removed
  • 14 ounces 60% semisweet chocolate, melted, at body temperature
  • 11 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Dry the grapes well and place them in a bowl large enough to toss them easily. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.

  2. Add the chocolate to the grapes about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring well with a spatula, carefully scraping the sides of the bowl and folding through the center of the grapes to coat all of them evenly.

  3. When the chocolate begins to set, using a small strainer, sprinkle the cocoa powder little by little over the surface. Gently toss or stir the grapes as you sift, continuing to add the cocoa until all of the grapes are well coated and separated. Spread on the prepared sheet.

  4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, or for up to 1 day.
