You might land smack dab in the middle of the life you have always wanted. But you will never know unless you try.

Afraid of failure?  Success? Welcome to the largest club on the planet. Finding the courage to walk through those fears and boldly charge after your dreams is a part of the journey that reaps the greatest rewards.

The clock rolls foward and you don't want to end another year filled with regret for the things you did not do. 2013 is YOUR year. Get out there and make it happen!
 On to the recipe:

Oreo Whipped Cream Dream
12 mini tart shells
1/2 pkg Oreo cookies
24oz Heavy cream
2T Powdered sugar
1 Chocolate bar
12 Cherries

In a 350° oven place the tart shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and cool completely.

In a large bowl or blender, add the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip with a whisk or blend on medium until stiff peaks form. Crush Oreo cookies and fold into whipped cream.

Spoon mixture high in the cooled tart shells. With a microplane or zester, lightly dust tart with chocolate shavings. Top with cherry.

This quick, delightful dessert tastes EXACTLY like Cookies N' Cream ice cream. It is light and just sweet enough to satisfy any craving without going overboard.
Enjoy!

Happy New Year from The Gourmet Boulevard!
