Ever wondered what grape desserts are out there besides fruit salad? The truth is, grapes aren’t typically the star of desserts unless you count grape jelly!
1.Concord Grape Galette
This recipe requires a few extra steps, but trust us–it’s worth it! First, you’ll need to remove the skins and cook the flesh. Then, pour the juice over the skins, making sure to strain out any leftover seeds.
If that sounds like too much work, here’s a tip: use seedless grapes and cut them in half instead. Cook everything together, mash those grapes, and you’ll have a delicious homemade pie filling in no time!
2.Concord Grape Pie
Step aside, blueberry pie–this grape pie is a game-changer. It’s a sweet and tangy twist that’ll transport you straight to those lazy summer days. The magic happens when you mix fresh grapes with just the right amount of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
You want to taste the grapes, not just the sugar, so it’s all about finding that perfect balance. The result? A pie that’s as refreshing as a breeze off the water, with a flavor that’s pure summer in every bite.
3.Coconut Grape Jam Bars
Looking for a quick and sweet treat? Jam and shortbread bars are the perfect solution. Shortbread is a breeze to make, using ingredients you likely already have on hand.
Plus, who doesn’t have a jar of jam hiding in the pantry? The real star here, though, is the coconut topping–it adds a delicious flavor and texture that’s a refreshing twist on the usual crumb topping.
4.Sour Patch Grapes
Sour candy lovers, rejoice! While I’ve never been a huge fan of sour treats myself, I get why so many people can’t resist them. This recipe strikes the perfect balance–delivering that tangy, puckery kick you crave, but also surprising you with bursts of sweet, real fruit flavor.
Trust me, even I couldn’t stop munching on these addictive little gems!
5.Rainbow Fruit Kabobs
Fruit kabobs are the perfect summer BBQ dessert–colorful, sweet, and packed with goodness. Plus, they’re a breeze to serve! Grapes are my go-to choice because they’re easy to use without any cutting, which means less hassle and no worries about spoilage or pesky flies.
For an extra-special treat, toss in a few marshmallows and drizzle everything with a bit of chocolate or caramel. It’s a simple yet delicious way to wrap up your summer gathering, whether you’re feeding a crowd or just the kids!
6.Healthy Homemade Gummy Bear Fruit Snacks
These DIY gummy bears are a fun and healthier way to enjoy your favorite snack. Made with just three simple ingredients–100% grape juice, honey, and gelatin–you can feel good about what you’re putting in your body.
No fancy molds needed–any silicone mold or even a simple sheet pan works. Just pour the mixture into your mold or onto a sheet pan, let it set, and you’re ready to cut it into fun shapes or squares.
Perfect for a sweet treat without any artificial additives.
7.Harvest Grape & Olive Oil Cake
Olive oil cake is one of those treats that stands out with its unique flavor. If you’re new to olive oil in baking, it might take a moment to get used to, but trust us, it’s worth it.
This recipe is a great way to repurpose grapes that are a bit past their prime–since they’re baked into the cake, it’s totally fine if they’re a little soft. For the best results, try halving the grapes and scattering them across the batter.
As the cake bakes, they’ll settle in perfectly, ensuring every bite has a burst of juicy grape flavor.
8.Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Shortbread Cookies
PB&J Cookies–Because Classics Never Go Out of Style! We’ve all been waiting for this moment! How could we go so long without a PB&J recipe? Well, here it is, and it’s as fun as it is delicious.
These cookies are a blast to make with the kids and are perfect for serving to a crowd. The best part? The peanut butter is totally optional, so if you’ve got a guest with an allergy, you can easily make some nut-free cookies.
It’s the classic combo you love, now in cookie form. Gather the gang and get baking–everyone’s going to love these!
9.5-Minute Grape Sorbet

10.Grape and Almond Frangipane Tart

11.Easiest-Ever Grape Popsicles
I eat frozen grapes all the time during the summer. They’re such a great little snack, and they freeze perfectly–not too hard, not too soft. These ultra-healthy popsicles are just what you need for hot days.
Simply pulse them in a food processor until they’re the consistency you prefer (I like mine chunkier), then fill your molds. You can go all green, all red, or mix it up for variety.
They’re a hit no matter which way you make them! For an extra-special touch, try adding a mix of green and red for a colorful twist. Perfect as a quick, healthy snack or addition to lunchboxes or kids’ snacks.
12.Peanut Butter and Jelly Chocolate Cups
Grape Jelly Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are exactly what you’re imagining: Reese’s peanut butter cups, but with a grape jelly twist! Let’s be honest, peanut butter cups are irresistible–so addictive that it’s easy to polish off way too many in one sitting.
But let’s admit it, after a few (okay, five), they can start to feel a bit overly rich. That’s where the grape jelly comes in! Adding a layer of jelly not only amps up the peanut butter flavor but also brings in a refreshing moisture that balances out the thickness of the creamy filling.
The result? A treat that’s even easier to keep snacking on. Just a heads-up: this might not be great for your self-control!
13.Cornmeal Cakes with Divine Flavor Jellyberry Grapes
Meet the star of your next dessert: organic jellyberry grapes. Sweeter, juicier, and with a stunning dark hue, they steal the show in this cake. The cake itself? It’s a game-changer.
Made with cornmeal for a hearty texture and olive oil for moisture, it’s a flavorful sponge that’s anything but ordinary. A hint of lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy note that perfectly balances the sweetness.
Whether you serve it warm, straight from the oven, or chilled, this cake is a delightful treat any time of day.

14.Trisha Yearwood Creamy Grape Salad Recipe
Creamy Grape Salad If you’re a fan of ambrosia salad, you’re in for a treat with this quick and creamy grape salad! This recipe swaps out Cool Whip for a mix of cream cheese and sour cream, giving it a rich, cheesecake-like flavor that’s irresistible.
The topping is a delightful mix of brown sugar and pecans, adding a nice crunch to each bite. If nuts aren’t your thing, try using chopped pretzels instead for a salty twist.
Either way, this salad is so good you’ll want seconds!
15.No-Bake Grape Cheesecake
One look at this show-stopping dessert and you’ll be hooked! The mirror glaze gives it a luxurious touch, but don’t let that fool you – it’s easier to make than you think.
The filling combines grape jelly for a fruity twist and cream cheese for richness. While it calls for graham crackers, feel free to get creative with peanut butter or other crackers as a substitute.
To make it, simply mix the cream cheese with the grape jelly until well combined, then fold in the crackers. Let it chill until set, then cut into bars. Perfect for impressing your Instagram feed – the glossy top and smooth texture will make it a crowd-pleaser.
Plus, it’s surprisingly simple to put together!
16.Roasted Grape Tart
Don’t toss those soft grapes at the bottom of the bag–roasting them actually brings out even more sweetness! This tart takes it up a notch with a crust made from brown sugar and pecans, a creamy mascarpone filling, and a light drizzle of balsamic glaze over the roasted fruit.
It’s a sweet and tangy combination you won’t want to miss.
17.Apple-Grape Galette
Galettes are the ultimate easy-going dessert–rustic, charming, and ready in just 20 minutes. No need to stress about perfection here; the more rustic it looks, the better! If you prefer your apples with a bit of crunch, slice them nice and thick so they stay firm during baking.
And for those grapes? Keep them whole to lock in all their juicy goodness. A simple, quick, and delicious way to enjoy fruit in a whole new way!
18.Black and Green Grapes Panna Cotta Recipe
This dessert might take a few extra steps, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. Panna cotta is already a dreamy treat on its own, with its creamy and smooth texture that’s just perfect as is.
But when you add a couple of layers of homemade grape jelly, it takes it to a whole new level. The jelly brings a burst of sweetness and creates a beautiful, layered look that makes it extra special.
It’s a little extra effort, but the end result is absolutely worth it.
19.Grape Parfait

Imagine a thick, creamy yogurt layer paired with a satisfying crunch from granola–something overnight oats often miss out on. It’s a fun, tasty way to kick-start your day with a boost of texture and flavor!
20.Grape Clafoutis
This classic French dessert is traditionally made with black cherries, pits and all! While the deep red color is stunning, cherries can sometimes be a bit too tart for some folks.
The thick custard bakes right along with the fruit, creating a texture that’s a delightful mix between a flan and a crepe. Feel free to experiment with any fruit you love, but there’s something extra special about this grape version.
Using a mix of green and red grapes adds a pop of color and a touch of sweetness that’s simply adorable.
