A Fourth of July Treat

So I was looking around at a Fourth of July treat that would look cool, tastes yummy, and easy to make. So when I came across this recipe on the food network and it sounded easy, looked easy, and I thought that I could do this no problem. I thought that the mascarpone would be the hard thing to find. I should have read the comments below about the tart cups. The only place I could find mini tart cups was the internet. So I adjusted the recipe a bit. I mixed with a spoon 8 oz of mascarpone, 3Tbsp of powder sugar, and 1/3 tsp of vanilla in a bowl. Then took fresh made whipping cream and folded in a cup into the cheese. Now because I add extra vanilla to the recipe I think that it might have caused the cream to be less white, but I liked the taste.  So since I couldn't find tart cups and I wasn't about to make them, we went on a hunt for something else. And we found these Pepperidge Farm Verona strawberry flavored cookies that we thought might work (in the third picture you can kinda see the cookies). Now some packages were better tasting than others, which were a little gummy. Also I lightly sugared the strawberries so they wouldn't dry out. I think that is all the information that would be needed to duplicate this fun little treat. Also this wouldn't have happened without my mom pushing me when things weren't working and looking for the missing things for me.
