Sherbet Easter Cups

Prep Time:25 Mins | Total Time:55 Mins | Makes:6
  

  


1 box Pillsbury* refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box

3/4 teaspoon pink sugar

1/4 cup flaked coconut

3 drops green food colour

3 cups raspberry sherbet

18 small jelly beans


  • Heat oven to 450°F. Using 12-cup regular-size muffin pan, spray backs of 6 alternate muffin cups with cooking spray. Remove pie crust from pouch; unroll on work surface. Sprinkle crust with pink sugar. With rolling pin, roll sugar into crust until crust is 12 inches in diameter.

  • Cut 6 rounds from crust with 4-inch round cookie cutter, or trace 6 rounds with top of large drinking glass and cut out with sharp knife. Fit rounds, sugar side up, over backs of sprayed muffin cups. Pinch 5 equally spaced pleats around side of each cup. Prick each generously with fork.

  • Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Carefully remove crust cups from muffin cups. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in small resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix coconut and food colour until coconut is evenly coloured.

  • To serve immediately, place crust cups on dessert plates; to serve later, place crust cups on cookie sheet or tray, cover with foil and freeze until serving time. With ice cream scoop, scoop 1/2 cup sherbet into each cooled crust cup, flattening tops of sherbet slightly. Top each with coloured coconut to resemble nest; place jelly beans in centre of coconut to resemble eggs. Serve immediately.
