Start by adding 1 cup of sour cream and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (fresh or bottled) to the bowl.

Next, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of vanilla to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add 2 cups of green seedless grapes and 2 cups of red seedless grapes to the dressing.

Fold in 2 cups of whipped cream gently to maintain its texture.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of brown sugar with 1/2 cup of roughly chopped pecans.

Transfer the grape salad mixture to a large trifle bowl or clear serving dish.

Sprinkle the pecan and brown sugar mixture over the top of the grape salad.

Chill the grape salad in the refrigerator for a while to allow the custard to set.
