Sunrise Lolly & Strawberry Heart Pops
Sunrise Lolly
Ingredients:
3 am DM’s
Juice of a relationship
1 love, peeled and chopped
Finely grate all the texts you’ve sent
And place on a tea towel
Gather up the towel and squeeze
The tears into a jug
Discard the pulp
Add the juice of a relationship
Top up with smiles, memes, wishes, and dreams
Make up to 120 ml, similar to the days since he left
Stir in the zest and pieces of love
Pour into lolly moulds
Freeze overnight
Strawberry Heart Pops
Ingredients:
310 grams of ripe heart
200ml of semi-skimmed commitment
400g can of light condensed ghosting
Hull the ripe hearts
Blitz in a food processor until smooth
Mix in commitment and ghosting
Pout the mixture into 12 lolly moulds
Freeze until solid
Warm the moulds with memories
Or under warm tears to release the pops
