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.

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!

Everyone loved these sweet little cups! I was having a bit of a hard time melting the milk chocolate though, so I would suggest possibly using chocolate syrup instead. Faster and not quite so rich.

I made this for a Mexican themed party

and everybody loved them! They didn't believe me when I told them how healthy they are!

I made these for a "South of the Border" Party and everyone loved them. I did some in regular muffin cups but also made some in mini-muffin cups (used one tortilla wedge in each cup). Loved them in the mini cups. I don't think I will ever make them in the regular size again. They made perfect finger food! I also found that warming the tortillas in the microwave made them more pliable and easier to work with.

I am a caterer and have used the basic recipe for several years serving it to hundreds of people!! I often use coconut cream, lemon, chocolate pudding flavors as well with an appropriate topping. You can serve it in tart shells, any type of crust, or just in a pretty single serving bowl. Make it low-fat or regular - it's quick, easy, and will have great reviews!!
