Description
These super-cute phyllo cups are brimming with nutrient-dense, fiber-rich berries. Tip: You can make phyllo cups a day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Fill them with fruit just before serving.

Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
4 sheets frozen whole-wheat phyllo dough, thawed
1 Tablespoon granular sugar substitute, divided
Fresh raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries
Fat-free nondairy whipped topping

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat a nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.

2. Place 1 sheet phyllo dough on a clean, dry counter; lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with sugar substitute. Place another sheet of phyllo on top, coat with cooking spray, and sprinkle with sugar substitute. Repeat with 2 remaining sheets of phyllo. Cut stack into 6 pieces. Gently press each piece into a muffin cup. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until just golden brown. Let cool.
