Fruit Cups With Strawberry Dressing Recipes

STRAWBERRY CUPS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Put the gelatin and boiling water in a blender, and process for 10 to 15 seconds to dissolve the gelatin. Add the strawberries and process again, just long enough to blend in the berries. Put the blender container in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or just until the mixture starts to thicken a bit.
• Add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream, and process in the blender just long enough to mix it all in, about 10 to 15 seconds. Pour into 5 or 6 pretty little dessert cups and chill in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
• With an electric mixer or by hand, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of cream with the vanilla and sugar substitute. Top each cup with a dollop if whipped cream. If desired, cut a strawberry into a fan-shape, and place on top with a mint leaf to garnish.

FROZEN FRUIT CUPS

FRUIT SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the fruit salad, combine fruit in pan (personally, I'd use glass or plastic and not metal; I'd worry about the taste of the fruit being compromised.).
• Cover and refrigerate.
• Prepare Strawberry Dressing by stirring cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth; then adding yogurt, lemon peel, and juice, and stirring until smooth again.
• Serve fruit with dressing on the side or drizzle over fruit, stirring to coat.
• Makes 9-10 servings of fruit and 1 1/2 cups of dressing.
