Ingredients
Instructions

- Place grapes on a tray lined with paper towels and freeze until hard.
- Serve in dessert dishes with a glass of Frangelico or with a little Frangelico sprinkled on the grapes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using a mix of different grape varieties or substitute the Frangelico with another liqueur like Amaretto for a different flavor profile. Make sure to freeze the grapes until solid to achieve the best texture. If you're short on time, you can use frozen grapes directly from the store as a quick alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frozen grapes in dessert dishes, drizzled with Frangelico for an elegant touch. They make a refreshing snack on their own or can be paired with a light dessert. For additional indulgence, consider serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a garnish in cocktails like a refreshing Ginger Beer.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover frozen grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Avoid refreezing thawed grapes, as they can become mushy. If you have extra Frangelico, keep it in a cool, dark place to maintain its flavor, as it doesn't require refrigeration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of grapes?
Yes, you can experiment with other seedless fruits like berries or sliced peaches, but freezing times may vary. Make sure the fruits are fresh and well-washed before freezing for optimal results.
How long do the grapes need to freeze?
Freeze the grapes for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid. This ensures they have a nice, icy texture that complements the Frangelico when served.
Is Frangelico necessary for this recipe?
While Frangelico adds a unique hazelnut flavor, you can omit it for a non-alcoholic treat or substitute it with a nut-flavored syrup to maintain a similar taste profile.
