Fold in thirds and mold into a basket in the prepared muffin cups. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, butter and cinamon-sugar. Bake until the baskets are golden brown, about 5 min. Remove from oven and cool. Strawberry Cream: Fold together whipped cream, powdered sugar, Grand Marnier and sour cream. Gently fold in strawberries. To serve: Place a phyllo basket on a plate and fill with Strawberry Cream. Garnish top with a fanned strawberry and sprinkle additional strawberries around the plate.
