Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Phyllo sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Mint extract
- 2 drops Green food coloring
- 12 pieces Fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon Optional: powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the phyllo sheets into 12 equal squares (approximately 4x4 inches each).
Brush each phyllo square lightly with melted butter, layering two sheets per cup for extra crispness.
Press the layered phyllo squares into a mini muffin tin to form tulip-shaped cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool completely before filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold in the chopped mint leaves, mint extract, and green food coloring. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Transfer the mint cream to a piping bag with a star tip for easy filling.
Once the phyllo cups are cooled, pipe the mint cream into each cup, filling generously.
Top each filled cup with a fresh raspberry for a pop of color and flavor.
Optional: Dust the Mint Tulips with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish right before serving.
