Blueberry White Chocolate Frappé
This is a beautiful, refreshing and healthful dessert! I chose a combination of frozen açaí berry puree and blueberries for a big boost of antioxidants. Most grocery stores carry açaí berry smoothie packs in the frozen section. I find mine at Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, or Costco. There is a little preparation for this recipe: you will need to freeze watermelon and prepare a white chocolate simple syrup ahead of time.

- Allow frozen acai packet to thaw to a slushy consistency before use.
White Chocolate Simple Syrup:
- Place water and sugar into a pan and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn down heat to simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- Add white chocolate chips and whisk. Take off heat and whisk till chocolate is completely melted. Allow to cool. Pour into a jar and save in the fridge until ready to use.
Whipped Cream:
- Beat cream till thick, add sugar and vanilla. Beat till desired consistency. I like to use a whisk, it makes the whipped cream the most amazing consistency. If you would rather you can use a hand mixer.
