Chili Honey Sorbet with Pickled Strawberry — The Ice That Burns
“It’s cold. It’s spicy. It’s emotionally unavailable. Just like your type.”
🌶️ What Is This Sorcery?
This sorbet is not here to be cute. It is flame in crystal. A kiss and a slap in frozen form. The sweetness of raw honey folds into chili heat, and then — the twist — pickled strawberries arrive like an unexpected ex with a mixtape and closure.
