Shooting A Star Cherry Skewers Recipe

See them walking hand in hand Across the bridge at midnight Heads turning as the lights flashing out Are so bright And walk right out to the four line track There's a camera rolling on her back On her back And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy All the way down her spine Girls on film Girls on film Girls on film Girls on film Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling And miles of sharp blue water coming in Where she lies The diving man's coming up for air 'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair By the hair And she wonders how she ever got here As she goes under again Girls on film (two minutes later) Girls on film Girls on film (got your picture) Girls on film Wider, baby, smile and you've just made a million Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire Take one last glimpse into the night I'm touching close I'm holding bright Holding tight Give me shudders in a whisper Take me up 'til I'm shooting a star Girls on film (she's more than a lady) Girls on film Girls on film (two minutes later) Girls on film Girls on film (see you together) Girls on film Girls on film (see you later) Girls on film

When you’re walking hand and hand across the bridge at midnight, you need a snack that will take you up till you’re shooting a star. Okay, maybe that’s a smidge dramatic. So, instead, just grab a skewer filled with cherries and star-shaped honeydew melon and slather it with whipped cream. For a truly authentic experience, put on a sexy cowgirl outfit and ask your husband to wear the tiny man-pants and horse head while you eat.

Shooting A Star Cherry Skewers Ingredients:

Honeydew melon
Cherries
Lemon
Honey
Skewers, toothpicks or cocktail picks
Small star-shaped cookie cutter
juice and zest from 1 lemon or lime
Other fruit options: watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple

Extra thick whipped cream recipe

Water
Unflavored Gelatin
Heavy Whipping Cream
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla

Add water to small saucepan. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the top. Allow to sit for a few minutes. Cook (do not boil) until gelatin is fully dissolved. Stir the mixture, remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and whip on medium high speed until the mixture starts to thicken and soft peaks form.
Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly pour in the gelatin mixture until well combined, increasing the mixer to medium speed and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks are when you pull the beaters out and the cream holds its shape indefinitely.
Pipe, scoop, or plop onto your Shooting A Star Skewers between the honeydew star and cherry.

Instructions:

Wash cherries and dry.
Slice half of honeydew melon into 1 inch pieces.
Use star cookie cutters to press into melon creating your shooting stars. Toss stars into bowl.
Mix honey (to taste) and squeeze 1 fresh lemon into a small bowl. Mix well and pour over top of fruit.
Stack star honeydew, whipped cream, then cherry and pierce with cocktail pick (bonus points if you use cherry lipstick picks)
