Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) blue cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 18 to 20 seedless red grapes, chilled
- 1 cup (4 ounces) finely chopped walnuts, toasted (see Cook's Note)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Line a small baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a food processor, blend together the cream cheese, blue cheese, and heavy cream until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the grapes and stir until coated with the cheese mixture.
In another small bowl, mix together the walnuts, sugar, and parsley.
Using a fork, transfer the grapes, one at a time, to the walnut mixture and, using clean hands, gently roll in the mixture until coated. Place the grapes on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours and serve.
Cook's Note: To toast the walnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.

These were fantastic! Made for friends and they just loved them! The crunchiness and sugar coating along with the cheese flavors really are different in a good way! Thanks Giada!

It was very good! I fixed this for my BFF's birthday diner and we both loved it! I used macadamia nuts & pistachio's and also did some with the walnuts. They were all very tasty. Time consuming to make but great if you have the time to do it. I don't think it is practical for large groups( greater than 4 ppl.

This recipe was a home run! Simple, elegant, and delicious! I made it for a baby shower and received numerous compliments and requests for the recipe! I used large black seedless grapes and they were perfect - I believe the larger the grape the better for this recipe. I have already added this to my "Favorites" file. Thanks Giada!
