To Die For Sugarless Dessert Cups



Diabetics and dessert lovers alike are "wowed" by these creamy treats.

 


  3 tablespoons sugar (I use Splenda or you can use your preferred sugar substitute)
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


TORTILLA CUPS:
In a small bowl, COMBINE sugar (Splenda) and cinnamon.
COAT each tortilla with nonstick cooking spray
Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar & repeat on reverse side.
CUT each tortilla into quarters
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.
OPTION: The tortillas quarters can be separated for more bite size treats.


FILLING:
BEAT cream cheese in a mixing bowl just until smooth.
In another bowl, WHISK milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes or until thickened.
ADD to cream cheese
BEAT on low until blended.
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.
(TIP: crispness diminishes depending on length of time in refrigerator)
Yield: 20 servings.
