TORTILLA DESSERT CUPS

3 tbsp Splenda Granulated

2 tsp ground cinnamon
10 (6-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
nonstick cooking spray
1 brick (8-oz) low-fat cream cheese
1 cup cold fat-free milk
1 pkg (4-serving size) white chocolate Or vanilla sugar-free pudding mix
2 cups sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the Splenda and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Coat 1 side of each tortilla with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the sprayed sides with half the Splenda/cinnamon mixture. Turn tortillas over and repeat the process on the second side. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges.

To form the dessert cups, place the rounded edge of a wedge in the bottom of a muffin cup; shape to fit. Place a second wedge in the muffin cup allowing bottom and sides to overlap the first wedge and the points opposite each other. Repeat process until you have 20 dessert cups.

Bake cups at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Allow to cool completely in the pans.

To make the filling, beat cream cheese in a mixer bowl just until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes or until thickened; add to the cream cheese and beat on low speed until blended. Fold in the whipped topping. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Carefully remove the cups from the pan. Pipe or spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling mixture into each cup. Drizzle the melted chocolate over over the filling.

Refrigerate 5 minutes to set before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Yield 20 servings of 1 cup.
