Mango Watermelon Frappe with Vanilla Paste Whipped Cream
A light refreshing dessert! Prepare a simple syrup and frozen watermelon chunks in advance. I cut fresh watermelon into cups and freeze in in one cup portions and use it as I need it. Recipe link for whipped cream above.

Instructions
To make simple syrup: place 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in sauce pan and bring to boil. Lower heat to simmer till liquid becomes clear (about 5-7 Minutes) allow to cool, place in mason jar and store in refrigerator.
To make frappe: place all ingredients and 1 cup of the grape juice into blender and blend, reserve a half cup for later. Blend till smooth. If you need to thin out frappe, add remaining grape juice a little at a time. Top with whipped cream, a sliver of apricot and a mint leaf.
