Combine Sweeteners

Transfer the monk fruit sweetener and optional citric acid into a medium bowl. Ensure they are well mixed together for an even coating.

Coat the Grapes

Remove the grapes from the fridge and roll each one into the monk fruit mixture. Make sure each grape is completely coated for a deliciously sweet bite.

Freeze the Grapes

Transfer the coated grapes onto the parchment paper and freeze for 2-3 hours until they are solid.

How to Store It
