Cream Cheese
Cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture that pairs perfectly with juicy grapes in this classic side dish recipe. Plus, there’s brown sugar and pecans for an irresistibly sweet and crunchy topping.
Before adding cream cheese, ensure it has come to room temperature before mixing with the sour cream and vanilla extract mixture. This will ensure it mixes evenly without creating lumps in your finished product.
Once your dressing is smooth, add in the grapes and gently toss until evenly covered. Refrigerate before chilling it in order to enjoy!
Add an exciting twist to this traditional dish by mixing chopped fresh mint or basil leaves into the fruit salad, or switching out granulated sugar for another sweetener that suits your preferences or dietary requirements.

The key to this recipe lies in whipping the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar until they form a fluffy mixture. Once this step is completed, add in half-sliced grapes until evenly distributed throughout. Finally, sprinkle pecans and brown sugar before serving – it keeps well in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve! This versatile side dish or refreshing summer dessert makes an easy preparation ahead of time!
Grapes
Delicious Grape and Cream Cheese Dessert — With Brown Sugar and Pecans
To prepare this dish, first remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator at least one hour in advance so it can soften. Wash grapes thoroughly before combining with the cream cheese mixture – this step helps ensure a dry combination that won’t become watery! – and toss everything together carefully – keeping in mind the important step of not making too much liquid in the mixture!
Beat cream cheese until it becomes soft and fluffy in a large mixing bowl, adding the sour cream, granulated sugar, grape halves and pecans, then folding. Serve this sweet salad alongside pretzels, graham crackers or animal crackers for maximum pleasure!
