Cupids Coupe Recipes

Steps:

• Draw heart design or write Valentine's Day message in each of 8 (6-oz.) clear plastic cups by piping chocolate onto insides of cups. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.
• Add 1 cup boiling water to 1 pkg. gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water; pour into prepared cups. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin is firm.
• Add remaining boiling water to remaining gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to remaining cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until thickened. Stir in COOL WHIP; spoon over gelatin layer in cups. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Decorate as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush the phyllo sheet with butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Cut the sheet in half crosswise and then lengthwise to make 4 rectangles. Make a fan by taking the short side of 1 of the rectangles and gathering it together like pleats on a skirt, pinching the pleats together to make them stick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rectangles. Bake until light brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place a scant pint of the strawberries in a blender and puree, stopping as necessary to scrape sides of jar. Pass the puree through a fine sieve so you are left with only a thick liquid. Set aside. Whip cream to soft peaks. Add the sugar and the lime zest. Whip to stiff peaks. Coarsely chop enough of the remaining strawberries to make 1/2 cup. Stir them into the cream mixture. Stir in the strawberry puree.
• Thinly slice the remaining strawberries. Either use a small heart-shaped cutter to cut hearts out of the strawberry slices or trim them into heart shapes with a small knife. Press several of the strawberry hearts in a decorative, asymmetrical pattern against the inside of each of 4 wineglasses. Spoon in the mousse. Top with a layer of strawberry hearts. Place the narrow end of each fan into the mousse. Serve immediately.
