Ingredients

  • 1 box Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crusts, softened as directed on box
  • 3/4 tsp (7 mL) pink sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) flaked coconut
  • 3 drops green food colour
  • 3 cups raspberry sherbet
  • 18 small jelly beans

Steps

  •  
    1
    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.
