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.

Great light treat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added honey and that gave it a slightly sweeter taste. Love the filling but had trouble with the cups. I was not sure if... I was suppose to keep them moist with water or butter, at any rate it was like eating cooked paper, maybe that was the way they were suppose to be. I'll keep trying as they were still good. Gave a 5 cause I figure I did something wrong.Read more

Easy and Elegante
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this for the second time today for a bridal shower tomorrow. Last time, although good, I thought that the rasberry... yogurt was overpowered by the pineapple and just not enough. This time I made a fresh rasberry puree, omitted the pineapple and added fresh rasberrys and folded in a small amount of whipped cream. I opted for white chocolate curls and I have to say it is wonderful. I'm not going to bake the phyllo cups till morning for fear that they will sog up and the crunch of the shell is half of it. I think you need the contrasting textures to make it work. I'm happy with it and hope our guests will be too. I also think you could swap out the fruits for whatever you like. I will definately make this again and recommend that you try it too.Read more

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
