Tortilla Dessert Cups Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Yield: 20 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 flour tortillas (6 inches)
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup cold fat-free milk
1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant white chocolate or vanilla pudding mix
2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips, melted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Coat one side of each tortilla with cooking spray; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Turn tortillas over; repeat on the other side. Cut each tortilla into four wedges.
For each dessert cup, place round edge of one tortilla wedge in the bottom of a muffin cup, shaping sides to fit cup. Place a second tortilla wedge in muffin cup, allowing bottom and sides to overlap. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Cool completely in pan.
Meanwhile, for filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Beat in cream cheese on low until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Carefully remove cups from pan. Pipe or spoon about 3 tablespoons filling into each cup. Drizzle or pipe with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 20 servings.

This is a wonderful dessert! I have a couple of suggestions for you cmartinez-Fat free shells are softer & easier to manipulate. warming the shell pieces slightly as you go makes them more pliable also. I use a dab of water to help stick the 2 pieces together as I press them into the bottom of the cup. Mini phyllo cups work great, too, if you're making minis. You can spray with butter flavor cooking spray and sprinkle with cinn.sugar and bake a few minutes (then cool) before filling if you want the cinn.sugar bonus.

I thought this was delicious but I really couldn't figure how to make the wedges properly. Can someone help me?

I used the 6 " torilla and only put one wedge in the mini muffin pans. It is a great dessert. the larger muffin pans, can be too much for some people. The mini muffin makes more to share with. I did not use low fat or fat free ingredients. Just used regular. I used ice cream topping for the drizzle too.

Absolutely delicious! Easy to make, did have a little trouble melting the chocolate chips. Will try another substitute. Everyone loved them.

Is there a limit on how far in adce these can be made? I'm just wondering if the tortillas get soggy.

These will be a hit where ever you take them. I don't use any low calorie ingredients when I make them and they turn out great. They are easy to make but look time consuming.

I made these for a Cinco de Mayo party and they were a huge hit. I used a mini muffin tin with one tortilla wedge in each cup and substituted sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding for the vanilla. I wish I had made a double batch because they went instanly and people were asking for more! I will definitely make these again! Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe!
