Ingredients

  • 3 sheets phyllo dough (or 12 store bought phyllo cups)
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pineapple, canned or fresh
  • 1/4 cup raspberry yogurt
  • Small block chocolate, for garnish
  • Special equipment: 2 1/2 to 3-inch cookie cutter, mini muffin tin

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Layer the phyllo sheets on top of each other. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds and press them into the mini muffin tin. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Meanwhile, combine the mascarpone, pineapple, and raspberry yogurt in a small bowl and stir to combine. Spoon the mascarpone mixture into the phyllo cups. Using a vegetable peeler, shave some chocolate onto the top of the mascarpone mixture and serve.

    Failed Phyllo

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    OK, we tried the phyllo cups three times and they never even came out close to being a cup. They puffed up way too much and... were impossible to fill. However, the filling was good. Maybe a little less raspberry or more mascarpone cheese would make it better.Read more

    Big Hit with family and company

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was delicious. I waited until time to serve to fill the phyllo cups. It was soooooo good. I think you could use the... basic recipe and change the yogart flavors and it be equally as good. Great recipe. Light for summer.Read more

    too bad

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    It looks so good but when I made it, it was really runny, it wasn't a thick mixture like the picture seems, and it jut tasted... like rasberry yogurt with pineapple. The cheese didn't make it creamier or add a flavor.. maybe I did it wrong but at any rate it was a disappointment :(Read more

    Great treat...and one more thing

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is an excellent blend of creamy fruit flavors in a flaky cup. The only thing I would add to this recipe is a hint of... sugar or honey (about a teaspoon). Also as shown on her show, it is much easier to use the mascarpone cheese at room temperature. Thanks Giada!Read more

    Wonderful Idea and Recipe

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I saw Giada's clips on Yahoo a while back for this recipe and tried it. It went very well, it was light, flakey and crunchy... when served right away. Personally, it was to my tasted... I really liked it. I noticed that in some of the reviews below that there were complaints on the flavors and also the crunchiness. Here are some other ideas you can apply to the recipe to over come them. Crunchy issue : Use wonton wrappers instead of Phylo Dough, you will lose the light flakiness but you will have a nice big crunch and a more sturdy bowl. You can brush them with butter or oil and sprinkle them with sugar before you bake. Another alternative is to use a honey and water mixture for a glaze before baking. (You can make savory versions of these cups by brushing salt and oil for little party snacks too) Flavor Factor: You can add honey to the filling for more sweetness or even sugar. Try changing the flavors of the yogurt.. instead of a raspberry yogurt try strawberry instead, instead of pinepapples try bannas. Another switch up you can try is use cream cheese for a tangier flling, when you do this my suggestion is to cream the cream cheese till soft then fold it into a whipped cream to make a fluffier filling. You will probably need some honey to this mixture. There's so many variations that can be done with this recipe. Its wonderful. Remember that you don't have to follow the recipe exactly to have a great meal. These are ideas and adaptations of the recipe authors and how they enjoy it themselves :) Experment, have fun. Happy Cooking.Read more

    Not so much...

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    This was bland and boring. I used only the finest quality ingredients and found that it had no flavor - the mixing portions... are all wrong. It was runny and boring.Read more
