- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons orange juice, from 1/2 medium orange
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Cooking spray
- 24 wontons wrappers
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

- For the wontons: In a large bowl combine the strawberries, orange juice and powdered sugar.
- Allow the strawberries to macerate for 20 minutes.
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- To create the wonton cups make a small fold in the center of each wonton and push it into the muffin cup, leaving a cup empty between each wonton.
- Bake the cups until the edges are golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Cool the cups while you make the whipped cream.
- For the whipped cream: In a bowl using an electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and orange zest.
- Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
- To assemble the cups: Drain the berries, reserving the macerating liquid.
- Place a few berry slices in the bottom of each cup.
- Fill the cup with a tablespoon of whipped cream and top with additional strawberry slices.
- Drizzle with the reserved berry juices and serve.
