Silicone Ice-Pop Handle with Cross Slit

Create a precise cylindrical ice-pop handle prototype. The handle is 35 mm outside diameter and 55 mm long. The handle must be completely solid and filled with silicone, with no hollow cavity, no internal channel and no opening. The inside material is soft, flexible and elastic silicone, while the outer shell is made from firmer, form-stable silicone for a secure grip. Create exactly ONE straight cross-shaped slit (+) through the entire solid handle, starting at the top surface and continuing completely to the bottom. The cross slit consists of two straight perpendicular cuts crossing at the center. There must be no star shape, no multiple radial cuts, no hole and no separate internal opening. In the relaxed state, the four silicone sections must meet and close the slit completely. When an ice-pop stick is inserted from the top, the four flexible silicone sections must elastically spread apart and tightly surround and grip the stick along the full 55 mm length. Keep the outside cylindrical surface smooth and uninterrupted.
