Goat Cheese Wrapped Grapes
Goat cheese wrapped grapes are an excellent appetizer for parties and family gatherings. A tasty combination of crunchy, soft and juicy makes these bite-size cheese balls a crowd’s favorite.
Ingredients
- 16 seedless grapes (see note 1)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (120 grams, see note 2)
- 4 ounces goat cheese (120 grams, see note 3)
- ½ cup shelled pistachios (unsalted, 60 grams)
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry the grapes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and goat cheese until well combined. Take a little amount of the mixture and wrap it around the grape and roll it into a ball. Place onto a tray/baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Repeat until you have used all the mixture.
- Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile: Finely chop pistachios either with a knife or process in a food processor. Transfer them to a plate.
- When the cheese-wrapped grapes are chilled, take them out.
- Roll them in pistachios and place them back on the same tray/sheet.
- Chill for 45 minutes or until hardened. When hardened, serve or transfer into an airtight container and put back in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
Notes

- If you are a huge goat cheese lover, feel free to use goat cheese only.
- Make sure to buy a goat cheese log. Another type of goat cheese will not work well in this recipe.
- This recipe yields 16-18 pieces. It will serve 4 people when counting 4 bites per head. However, when served alongside other appetizers, you can count with 2-3 cheese wrapped grapes per person.
- You might get less/more pieces depending on how large the grapes that you are using are.
- For best results chill these grapes wrapped in cheese for about 1 hour. They can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.
