Calories: 372kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed, divided
- 2 Tbs granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 lbs red seedless grapes
- 2 lbs green seedless grapes
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese in a large bowl.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth with an electric hand mixer.
- Add the sour cream and mix until smooth, scrape down the sides.
- Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla, mix until smooth.
- Add the grapes to the bowl.
- Fold them into the sauce so it is well coated.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. This salad is best served cold.
- Right before serving, sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar and the pecans on top for a garnish.
- Alternatively, you can sprinkle each serving with the toppings instead of the whole bowl, up to you.
Notes
- This recipe can be made overnight or up to 2 days in advance as long as it is stored airtight in the refrigerator.
- You can use just one color grape if you like.
- If you are not a fan of pecans, other nuts like walnuts will work or you can omit them all together.
- We like to top each serving with additional brown sugar and chopped pecans so you get some in each serving.
- Switch it up by adding toffee bits to the top for a delicious crunch and more caramel like flavor.
- Easily double this salad if you are having a larger gathering or serving more people.
