I'll admit, the picture doesn't look very good! Honestly though, grapes in a sugary cream cheese and yogurt sauce topped with sugar and nuts!! You need to try this recipe, I promise it's fabulous! I found this dessert on Gina's website, Skinnytaste.com. She has a great collection of WW friendly recipes and I've made a few in the last week. They have turned out very well. This one is extremely tasty and very light and clean. I did modify it a little because I found there were a few extra calories hidden that could be eliminated. Here it is, enjoy!
Tasty Grape Dessert
1 lb. green seedless grapes, washed and dried.
1 lb. red seedless grapes, washed and dried.
8 oz. fat free vanilla Chiobani greek yogurt (I had to use a container and a half of the individual ones).
4 oz. neufhatel cheese (1/3 less fat than cream cheese!)
1/4 c. sugar (probably could use less)
1 tsp. PURE vanilla extract (don't use imitation, it's gross).
To make topping:
2 T. brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Place yogurt, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a med sized bowl; beat with mixer until no lumps remain. Stire in grapes and pour into a large serving dish (I used an 8x8" pan). Combine brown sugar and chopped pecans. Sprinkle over top of grapes and chill until ready to serve.
