Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and set aside. Snip a small opening in the tip of the bag with a pair of scissors just before you are ready to fill the cups. No piping top needed.

Top each with a single raspberry and a mint leaf. Transfer them to a serving platter and give them a light dusting of powdered sugar.
