A delightful and easy-to-make chilled grape salad with a creamy base and a crunchy topping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the granulated sugar to the creamy mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Gently fold in the grapes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the dressing.
Use fresh, firm grapes for the best texture.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with brown sugar and chopped pecans.
Add the topping just before serving to maintain its crunch.
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing dish.
Pair with a light dessert wine for a complete experience.
