Walnut and Blue Cheese Grapes
Makes approx 5-6 dozen
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (4oz) cream cheese, room temperature (I use reduced fat)
1/2 cup (4oz) blue cheese crumbles, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream
50-60 seedless red grapes, chilled
2 cups (8oz) finely chopped walnuts, toasted*
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions:
1. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a food processor, blend together the cheeses and heavy cream until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the grapes and stir until coated with the cheese mixture.
2. 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.
3. Place the grapes on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours and serve.
*To toast the walnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.*
