FRUIT CUPS
These are just awesome! I love to make them up and freeze them for breakfast or a quick snack. For kid-sized servings, use 5-oz cups and fill them with 1/2 c. of the fruit mixture (yield 24 1/2-cup servings). For a larger serving, freeze in 9-oz cups (yield 12 1-cup servings). If using the larger cup, you need to remove them about 15 minutes before serving. FYI, in my freezer I timed the 9-oz cup and it took 1 hour for it to be slushy and 2 hours to be completely frozen. Dont worry if you taste it before freezing and the mixture is a little bit tart, the flavors mellow after freezing. Great for once-a-month cooking. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle both sides with granulated sugar. Lay tortillas over 6 jumbo muffin cups (tortillas will overlap). Bake until tortillas are soft and pliable, 3 minutes. Remove from oven and, with the bottom of a glass, gently press each tortilla into a muffin cup so it folds up and forms a cup shape. Bake until tortillas are crisp and golden at edges, about 12 minutes. Immediately remove tortillas from cups and let cool completely on a wire rack, 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together yogurt and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. In another small bowl, toss together fruit, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and lemon juice. To serve, divide yogurt mixture among cooled tortilla cups and top with fruit.

Steps:
- For phyllo cups:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter every other cup in 12-cup muffin pan. Place 1 phyllo rectangle on work surface; cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap and damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush rectangle with melted butter; sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 tablespoon hazelnuts. Place second phyllo rectangle atop first; brush with butter and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 tablespoon hazelnuts. Repeat 3 more times; top with 1 more rectangle and brush with butter, making stack of 6 rectangles. Using small sharp knife and 6-inch-diameter plate as guide, cut out two 6-inch round stacks. Press each stack into 1 buttered muffin cup. Repeat procedure 2 more times, making 4 more phyllo cups (6 total).
- Bake phyllo cups until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Immediately lift phyllo cups from pan, twisting carefully to loosen; place on rack. Cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
- For mousse:
- Whisk egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, butter, 1/4 cup water, and espresso powder in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water); whisk constantly until thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F, about 3 minutes. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Turn off heat; leave bowl over water.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff and glossy. Remove chocolate from over water. Fold 1/3 of beaten whites into warm chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Cover and chill until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Fill phyllo cups with mousse (reserve remaining mousse for another use). Top with raspberries and diced pears and serve.

FRUIT-COCKTAIL GELATIN CUPS
Steps:
- If using a vanilla bean, split in half and scrape seeds out. Reserve all. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and vanilla bean pod and seeds or extract to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer.
- Drop in the pear and pineapple and poach for 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Drop in peach and nectarine, and poach for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Drop in grapes and orange segments, and poach for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drop in cherries, and poach for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Since they will discolor the syrup, always do them last.
- When you have finished, put all of the fruit back in the syrup and set aside to cool down. Once cool strain the fruit and reserve. The syrup can be saved for another use.
- Mango may be added raw.
- Prepare your favorite gelatin: In large bowl, soften gelatin by stirring it into 1/2 cup apple juice. Set aside.
- In small saucepan, bring the remaining 3 1/2 cups of apple juice and the sugar to a boil. Boil until the crystals have dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour it over the gelatin and stir to dissolve.
- Stir in the reserved fruits and pour into 6-ounce footed cups. Chill several hours until set.
Tips:
- Select ripe and fresh fruits: The quality of your fruits will greatly impact the taste and overall appeal of your fruit cups. Choose fruits that are ripe, flavorful, and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of colors and textures: Incorporate a mix of fruits with different colors, shapes, and textures to create visually appealing fruit cups. This adds visual interest and makes your fruit cups more enjoyable to eat.
- Cut the fruits into uniform sizes: For a more polished presentation, cut your fruits into uniform sizes. This will make your fruit cups look more organized and professional.
- Experiment with different flavors: Feel free to mix and match different fruits to create unique flavor combinations. You can also add herbs, spices, or sweeteners to enhance the taste of your fruit cups.
- Don't overcrowd the fruit cups: Avoid overcrowding your fruit cups. Leave some space between the fruits to allow for air circulation and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Consider adding a liquid: If you find your fruit cups too dry, you can add a liquid such as fruit juice, flavored soda, or even sparkling water to enhance the flavor and juiciness of the fruits.
- Garnish before serving: Before serving your fruit cups, consider garnishing them with additional fruit slices, mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey or syrup to add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
