Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 oz (55 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 oz (55 g) goat cheese, room temperature
- A small bunch of green or red grapes
- 2 oz (55 g) package chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and goat cheese. Use a hand mixer for ease. If the mixture is too stiff, add a splash of milk or a tbsp or two of Greek yogurt to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Take each grape and coat it evenly with the cheese mixture. Ensure the grape is fully covered.
- Roll the cheese-coated grapes in the chopped walnuts, pressing gently to adhere the nuts to the cheese.
- Place the walnut-covered grapes on a plate and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow the cheese to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, mascarpone or plain cream cheese can be used as substitutes.
- These are best served chilled.
- You can prepare them a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the cheese mixture is too stiff to coat the grapes evenly?
The recipe says if the combined cream cheese and goat cheese mixture is too stiff, add a splash of milk or 1–2 tbsp of Greek yogurt to reach a spreadable consistency. A hand mixer makes blending the 2 oz cream cheese and 2 oz goat cheese much easier.
Can I make these ahead of time for a party?
Yes — the recipe notes say you can prepare them a few hours in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They are best served chilled, and the brief refrigeration also helps the cheese firm up slightly around each grape.
Very nice. Had trouble keeping cheese mix on grapes. However, mixed more goats cheese to the mix to thicken, worked very well then.
