Recipe Notes

  • Cream cheese must be completely softened or the consistency of the sweet dressing mixture will be off.
  • If your grapes are very tart, you may want to increase the sugar to balance it out. If they're very sweet, reduce the sugar so it's not overwhelming.
  • Make it Reduced Sugar: Use equal amounts granular Swerve in place of the white sugar and Brown Swerve in place of the brown sugar.
  • Make it Dairy Free: Use vegan cream cheese, and replace the sour cream with vegan sour cream or dairy-free yogurt.
  • Make it Vegan: Use vegan cream cheese, and replace the sour cream with vegan sour cream or dairy-free yogurt. Make sure your white sugar is vegan, or use a sugar substitute.
