The brains behind the blog Kuidaore, one of my daily (if not hourly) views, truly has surpassed herself once again with the most divine idea. I can't wait until my sisters birthday in March so I can test drive this baby. Essentially an Oreo and Cookies and Cream pie/cake/cheesecake/piecheesecake of some description. I have never been more transfixed and enticed by a picture in my entire life, which says a lot for my so called gourmet superiority complex.
Compared to her archive of exquisite pastries, this months edition seems somewhat butch. An idea that instructs you to look directly down your nose as soon as you hear about it. But please, hold all judgement and pre-conceived ideas and let your eyes linger upon this valhalla of chocolatey biscuity ice-creamy hedonism. Those of a nervous disposition look away now. Those of a sweet disposition, hold onto something.
Oh forgive me Father, I have well and truly sinned!
Frivolity and cookies and cream is what we need in this barren, emaciated, purged time of year we call January. Why is it considered vulgar to continue the indulgence post Boxing Day? I'm having none of it. Balance is power, have this tart for a bracing breakfast and it'll be sure to keep you going until supper.
I've been trying to wrack my brains for an alternative combination, however this does seem the most intense combination. Damn I love an Oreo, especially those tiny Lolita Oreos. It's one of those deserts that demands very little manpower with dangerous results. I think I'd cry if someone made this for me. But then again, I am one to weep over a Laduree Macaron (thankyou, Paris Breakfasts). I pondered my gelato of choice, and thought - Praline? A beautiful brittle almond base, swathed in a crown of Haagan Dazs finest. Jammy Dodger??? I think that may be a pipe dream too far.
