Ingredients
- Round green grapes
- Filling mixture (brigadeiro style, existing recipe)
- a little de Coconut milk opcional
- 2cups de Sugar
- 1cup de Water
- 2tablespoons de Vinegar
- drops de Green food coloring
- 1capful de Edible gold dust
- Skewers
Instructions
Separate the grapes from the bunch and dry them individually, ensuring there is no residual moisture so the filling adheres correctly.
Dica: Round grapes are recommended for the best final shape.
Flatten portions of the filling mixture (vegan brigadeiro style) into discs and wrap each grape, sealing them well to form uniform balls.
Dica: If the mixture is sticking to your hands, use a little coconut milk on a plate to lightly grease them; this can also help firm up the filling.
Refrigerate the filled grapes briefly to firm up the coating while you prepare the candy syrup.
Dica: This step is optional but helps ensure structural integrity.
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and vinegar. Add the green food coloring and the edible gold dust.
Dica: The vinegar is essential for ensuring the candy shell becomes crisp and will not leave a residual taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat without stirring after the initial boil begins. Cook until it reaches 140°C (284°F).
Dica: Turn off the heat immediately upon reaching 140°C. Cooking too long or using high heat can cause the caramel to crystallize or burn.
Insert a skewer superficially into each filled grape to create a handle.
Dica: Make sure the skewer is securely attached to facilitate dipping into the caramel.
Dip each skewered grape into the hot caramel, swirling carefully to coat evenly. Let the excess drip off.
Dica: Immediately transfer the dipped grapes onto a sheet of parchment paper so the candy hardens.
Allow the caramelized grapes to cool completely until the hard candy shell becomes crisp before consuming.
Dica: The ideal texture is achieved when the candy shell is crisp and firm.
