Crispy on the outside, sour-fruity mousse on the inside—this dessert is delicious but also hard to beat for its showmanship. Want to turn a room full of adults into little kids? Give them this dessert. These are the most refreshing grapes you will ever eat. How do you make something as spectacular as this treat? Liquid nitrogen, of course. There is no substitute for that here. Treat liquid nitrogen the way you would hot fry oil—with necessary caution. But at least you don’t have to clean up Jackson-Pollock spatters of grease when you are done. Concord grape makes for a really bright candy-like flavor in this Willy-Wonka treat. However, you can substitute any bold-flavored juice concentrate—try cherry, grapefruit, or lime—in place of the grape if you want. Be sure to dangle these above your mouth like the iconography of a Greek goddess for the best results at a party.
