Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 clementines (or mandarin oranges)
- 12–15 green grapes (firm, seedless)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (or peanut butter/almond butter for dairy-free)
- Optional: small mint leaves or parsley for vine decoration
- Optional: cinnamon stick pieces for rustic stems
Instructions
- Peel the clementines, keeping them as intact as possible. Place on a serving tray.
- Cut green grapes in half lengthwise to create oval or teardrop shapes for stems.
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature (microwave 5-10 seconds if needed).
- Smear a pea-sized amount of cream cheese on the flat cut side of a grape half and press gently onto the top center of a clementine. Hold for 5 seconds to adhere. Repeat for all pumpkins.
- Optional: attach a small mint leaf or parsley next to the grape stem using a tiny dab of cream cheese.
- Arrange pumpkins on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.
Notes
Dry clementines with a paper towel after peeling to help the grape stem stick. Cut grapes just before assembling for best appearance. Make a test pumpkin first to check proportions. Store assembled pumpkins in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours; let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
