Wonton Dessert Fruit Cups

Here I thought I would catch up on my writing over the three-day weekend! Not…

The Don was home from Paris and craving some healthy home-cooking after an extravagant dinner at, :-o , The Ritz!

So I did a lot of cooking…. How was your weekend? Relaxing, fun in the sun, catch a flick, some BBQ and brews maybe, that’s fantastic! Now its back to work and the final countdown for school :-)

Today, I’d like to share a quick and easy, light, healthy, fruit-filled dessert that I brought to the May meeting of FBLA (Food Bloggers Los Angeles). I had only been to one other meeting of this amorphous group of LA food bloggers and I really hoped that these little dessert cups would turn out better than good because, as you can imagine, the “pot luck” at these meetings is quite the spread.

When I added the mulberries, my first reaction was, “they look like caterpillars!”, but I was sacrificing the entire pint of  elusive mulberries I scored at the farmers market, minus the few that I popped into my mouth as a taste test, and my last minute creation would  have to suffice. Luckily, my colorful caterpillar creations garnered a few raves from my esteemed colleagues and figuratively blushed at all the attention from the food paparazzi! There is much more to share about the wonderful community that I’ve found in FBLA and the star of the show that day: Creminelli Fine Meats, more on that to come.

    I love the idea of the wonton cups! I guess the mulberries do look vaguely like caterpillars, but I still think the whole dessert looks wonderful!

    Thanks ladies!

    @Carolyn – Actually, someone else, besides me, thought they looked like caterpillars but that, and the colors, is what made them so striking!

    I love this dessert and I LOVE mulberries! When we came to the States some 20 years ago we could not find mulberries anywhere… we were all seriously crushed! :) )

    The wonton cups look so tempting. I haven’t eaten mulberries in years, we used to have a big tree in my grandparents back yard. Such a joy to climb and pick our own mulberries.
    Thanks for sharing Priscilla

    What a cool idea for a dessert. I have never used wonton skins in a dessert like this–it’s kind of like phyllo, no? I love it. Looks simple and delicious!
