This is an easy but so lovely dessert. This is great for a dinner party. This is a dessert for adults!
Why? Because seedless grapes are marinated in a combo of vodka, cream & brown sugar.
They are marinated in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Then blanched sliced almonds are roasted & put on top,……mmmmmmm…
Recipe: For 2 persons
Ingredients:
250 gr green seedless grapes, cleaned & cut up in 2
2 tablespoons of cream
1.5 tablespoons of dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons of gluten-free vodka
200 gr of blanched sliced almonds
Method:
1. Take a medium large bowl & place the cut up seedless grapes in it.
2. Add the vodka, dark brown sugar & the cream. Mix well with a spoon so that the grapes are covered with the mixture. Place cling film over the top & place into the fridge for at leat 2 to 4.5 hours. I marinated the grapes for 4.5 hours.
3. 10 minutes before serving, take the bowl out of the fridge, otherwise the dessert will be too cold to eat.
4. Take a little non stick pan & place the slivered almonds in it, in 1 layer. Dry roast them until they are brown & golden, about 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Shake the pan often because you don’t want to burn the almonds. Turn the heat off & set aside.
5. Take your 2 fancy dessert glasses & divide the grapes mix into the 2 glasses. Spoon the marinade evenly over the 2 glasses. Scatter the roasted slivered almonds over the tops & dig in!

Mjam,..Sophie! What a lovely, interesting & easy dessert! Thanks!
Wow,…this dessert looks excellent, Sophie!
That is so unusual Sophie! I don't think I've ever seen a grape dessert like this. Thanks for introducing it to us! And I like the Adults Only rating too! 🙂
Oh my, I've never thought to do that to grapes before! I think I might have to try this. Where did you come up with such a brilliant idea!?
Oh my goodness! You are so totally awesome! Why do you not live next door to me? I just know we'd be best friends!Blessings!Lacy
This is a fantastic idea! I don't know if I'd have thought of combining the cream and vodka.
My mother used to make something very similar, but she used sour cream. I was too young to taste then…but not now!
Wonderful dessert perfect for my summer party my guest are going to love it!Thanks for sharing your recipe:)Thanks for you lovely comment on my site!
A refreshing and delicious dessert! I love the idea!Cheers and have a great weekend,Rosa
yum sophie! i've never seen grapes like this, but it looks so tasty and refreshing…and how could i say no to drunken fruit?!
I have a bunch of grapes in the fridge and a bottle of vodka; once I get the cream, then we're on! (Do you think I could use coconut instead of dairy cream?)
hips ! avec la vodka !
Sophie, this a beautiful dessert and what a bonus – I can get tipsy eating it too!
soon we will have all the fruits drunken from pears to grapes…then we have to get around to people lol….joking aside is a lovely recipe that I would like to sink my teeth into ..I may still do it…sounds great..thanks for sharing kisses 🙂 xx
This is definitely the best way I've seen to eat grapes! Looks delicious.
Grapes and Vodka, that's my kind of dessert great idea.
Lovely is right Sophie, very elegant dessert!
This is really great. I love grapes, but usually eat them plain. This is a wonderful treat!
So simple yet so elegant! Lovely presentation.
oooooh vodka. This dessert looks sinfully good.
Of course I normally associate grapes with wine but I think that I could certainly go with the vodka in this case!
What a creative way for grapes…I always eat them plain and they have so much more potential. Vodka anything for dessert…my favorite.
Very sophisticated and elegant. A fit ending to a dinner party. Love the almonds on top.We froze grapes once but they ended up being too cold for me, but refrigerating them sounds like the perfect solution.Sam
Lovely, elegant and great every time! Grape with vodka should be a very interesting taste.
We both think this dessert looks wonderful!
We love the Russian flavour over and in the French grapes! Truly a European dessert!Racing Jef and cooking mum
fresh grapes in alcohol! wow, this is one super way to end a meal!
OHHH!! I absolutely love the sound of these grapes. It must be so so delicious! Love how you pictured them also!
I like the sound of your dessert! Delicious!Paz
How fun! This looks like a tasty treat.
What an interesting dessert! I am not too fond of the alcohol/fruit combination but I know loads of people that are, so I might still try this. I've been a little busy lately so haven't visited a lot, but hopefully things will quiet down a bit over here!
Wow (as so many have said) is right! It is a wonderful and elegant-looking dessert. I'll bet it is delicious!(I am going to add you to my favorites blog roll 🙂
Oh my! I love grapes so much, I bet this is fantastic.
tasty! i haven't tried grapes like this–in fact, i rarely have them in a dessert at all–but it sounds like a delicious and enticing treat!!
This sounds like a simple, refreshing dessert! Great for hot, muggy nights like we're having too.
Just to read the title already made me drool. Sounds so scrumptious.
This is my kind of dessert! I should have it for my bday party 🙂
Perfect quick and easy grown-up dessert! Love it! the almonds look pretty and almost pinkish. I think they must add the perfect amount of crunch to those boozie grapes 😉
yumm!! sound perfect for dessert 🙂 m sure my husband gonna love this dessert sopphie!! hes a huge fan of grapes 🙂 thank u for sharing this excellent dessert..cheers!!
Yeah, I agree! Simple and and sweetie dessert! I love grapes!
Oh.My.Gosh. I have never even heard of a dessert like this using GRAPES! I love grapes. This sounds sooo amazing, Sophie!!
This looks like it's a little sinful and a little good. That makes it more interesting.
Lovely…I will definitely try this one…what a great idea…love the simplicity of it and the the elegance as well.
What an elegant and lovely dessert! I love this, it's such a great idea. I love grapes but I never use them in much other than fruit salads. The almods look gorgeous. Another great one!
Ok Sophie, you need to have a dinner party and invite all of us and serve this for dessert. We will never go home, I promise. This is incredible.
What a fabulous and unique dessert! I love the combination of grapes with almonds and the splash of vodka is fabulous!
So easy, and grapes go really well with almonds!
fantastic idea!
This sounds like an elegant (and fun!) dessert!Thanks for sharing!
That looks absolutely divine, Sophie. What a fabulously simple and elegant dessert.
Never heard of such a combination. Sounds perfect for summer evenings! I love the combo of grape and vodka.
How'd you get the pink tint?
Oh YUM… vodka, brown sugar and cream, does it end up tasting like White Russians or Baileys or something like that?
@ everyone: thanks: this is an easy yet wonderful dessert! I only use 2 tablespoons of vodka & cream: that isn't a lot, hey! @ Y: i came up with the idea because I had grapes in the fridge & I thaught that vodka with a bit of sugar & a bit of cream would add a differebt flavour to it!@Jessica @ Foodmayhem: Because you marinate the cut in 2 grapes in a mix of vodka, cream & 1.5 tablespoons of dark brown sugar. After 2 or 3 hours of marinating , it looks as this!!@ Kat: I don't know if it tastes like Bayleys because I never tasted it!
I have never thought of marinating grapes. Your drunken grapes look gorgeous!
wow, this is sooo easy! and yet so creative!! love the addition of "drunken" :)btw, I'm hosting SHF-Fruit & Nut event over at my blog this month, and this dessert would be a great entry if you'd like to send them in!
Man that is the only way to eat grapes, I shall definately use this reciipe often over the summer. The great thing is hte kids cant eat it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
