Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) seedless grapes (red or green)
- 8 ounces (225g) semi-soft cheese (Havarti, Monterey Jack, or mild cheddar), cut into bite-sized cubes or slices
- Optional: pinch of fresh thyme or black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly to prevent ice crystals during freezing (about 5 minutes).
- Spread grapes individually on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch.
- Freeze grapes for 2-3 hours until completely frozen solid.
- Cut cheese into 1-inch bite-sized cubes or slices; optionally sprinkle with black pepper or chopped thyme.
- Assemble snack packs by combining about 1 cup (150g) of frozen grapes with 4 ounces (115g) of cheese cubes in small containers or resealable bags.
- Store assembled packs in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to eat. Enjoy straight from the freezer or let sit for 5 minutes to soften the cheese slightly.
Notes
Dry grapes thoroughly before freezing to avoid ice crystals. Freeze grapes spaced apart to prevent clumping. Use semi-soft cheeses like Havarti or Monterey Jack for best texture. Let snack sit out a few minutes if cheese is too firm. For dairy-free option, substitute cheese with firm plant-based alternatives like cashew cheese.
