This pretty dessert is also easy to achieve with ready-made frozen phyllo dough sheets and fresh fruit. For a finishing touch, sprinkle tops with NutraSweet Spoonful.
CUT PHYLLO into 8-inch squares (24). Spray 4 phyllo squares lightly with vegetable spray; layer squares, turning each slight- ly so that corners are staggered. Carefully fit phyllo into 8- ounce custard cup, shaping edges to form "nest" Repeat with remaining phyllo squares.
ARRANGE FRUIT in bottom of each "nest" Place custard cups on cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees until phyllo is golden and fruit tender, about 15 minutes.
COOL ON WIRE RACKS; carefully remove "nests" from custard cups. Serve warm or room temperature with Fruit Sauce.
Fruit Sauce: PUREE BERRIES in blender or food processor. If using raspberries, strain and discard seeds. Stir NutraSweet Spoonful into puree. Refrigerate until serving time.
Makes 1 cup.
