Ingredients

• 6 sheets Phyllo sheets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Mint extract
• 2 drops Green food coloring
• 12 pieces Fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon Optional: powdered sugar for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cut the phyllo sheets into 12 equal squares (approximately 4x4 inches each).

Step 3

Brush each phyllo square lightly with melted butter, layering two sheets per cup for extra crispness.

Step 4

Press the layered phyllo squares into a mini muffin tin to form tulip-shaped cups.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool completely before filling.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped mint leaves, mint extract, and green food coloring. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 8

Transfer the mint cream to a piping bag with a star tip for easy filling.

Step 9

Once the phyllo cups are cooled, pipe the mint cream into each cup, filling generously.

Step 10

Top each filled cup with a fresh raspberry for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the Mint Tulips with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish right before serving.
