Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
- A small bunch of green or red grapes
- 2 ounce 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 tablespoon 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.
