Yield 24 wonton cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons orange juice, from 1/2 medium orange
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Cooking spray
24 wontons wrappers
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 medium orange

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.
