Wash and thoroughly dry the green and red grapes. Place them in a large serving bowl or divide evenly into individual serving glasses.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and fold gently until fully combined.
Drizzle the whipped cream mixture over the grapes, ensuring that all the grapes are lightly coated. Stir gently if needed.
Sprinkle the chopped almonds or walnuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately if desired.
