How to Make Delicious Pina Colada Blossoms

These appealing little blossoms are perfect as appetizers or as a sophisticated dessert. They're very easy to make and they delight the senses with their transporting flavors and variety of textures.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• Cooking oil spray
• 24 wonton wrappers (or 6 egg roll wrappers cut into quarters)
• Ground cinnamon (for dusting)
• 1 can pineapple chunks
• 1 can mandarin orange sections
• 3/4 Cup shredded sweetened coconut
• Fresh mint leaves, minced (optional)

1. 

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cream cheese, lime juice, and sugar. Spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray.

2. Press a wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the corners out like petals, and dust lightly with cinnamon. Put about a teaspoon of cheese mixture into each, press a pineapple chunk and a mandarin orange section into the cheese, and top with about a teaspoon of shredded coconut.

3. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with minced fresh mint leaves, if desired.
