Step 1

Combine the lemon juice, cream cheese, and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on a low speed.
Stir in the lemon peel, then cover the mixture and chill it in the refrigerator for an hour. Rinse the grapes and dry them with a paper towel.
Cut an X into the top of each one, down to ¼ inch from the base of the grape and spread the grapes open carefully.
Put the cream cheese mixture in a baggie and snip one corner off.
Pipe this mixture into the grapes.
Put the stuffed grapes on a serving plate, cover them with saran wrap, and chill them before serving.
