TGRWT #18: Plums and gorgonzola chip cookies in a sandwich shape!

Since I discovered foodpairing, I started reading a lot of recipes with amazing combinations. A few days ago, in the blog of Martin Lersch, Blog.khymos, I read there was a round of TGRWT that means "they go really well together" and the challenge was to make a dessert with plums and blue cheese. I got excited about this idea, so today I bought gorgonzola cheese and other ingredients, I got the plums from the garden of one of my friends, organic yellow-green sicilian plums and went back home to make a dessert for lunch. The result was amazing, a great combination, a great dessert, I attach here pictures and recipe:
