Steps:
- For the wontons: In a large bowl combine the strawberries, orange juice and powdered sugar. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 20 minutes.
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray. To create the wonton cups make a small fold in the center of each wonton and push it into the muffin cup, leaving a cup empty between each wonton. Bake the cups until the edges are golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool the cups while you make the whipped cream.
- For the whipped cream: In a bowl using an electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
- To assemble the cups: Drain the berries, reserving the macerating liquid. Place a few berry slices in the bottom of each cup. Fill the cup with a tablespoon of whipped cream and top with additional strawberry slices. Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and serve.

MACERATED STRAWBERRIES W/ MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the strawberries and sugar. Set aside, and let sit for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using a hand-mixer or stand-up mixer with the whisk attachment, on medium speed, blend together the mascarpone cheese and 1 tbsp of the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Spoon into a separate bowl and set aside. Pour the cream and the remaining sugar into the original mixing bowl and blend on high-speed just until stiff peaks form, about a minute or two. Turn the mixer off and carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Add the lemon zest and gently stir to combine. Divide the strawberries among four small plates or bowls and top with the mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of fresh mint. Serve immediately. Notes The longer the strawberries and sugar sit, the more juices will be extracted. If you have time, the strawberries can be prepared in advance and sit up to a day soaking in the refrigerator.
