Favorite Lite Dessert

Cream Filled Tortilla Dessert
This is one of my favorite lowfat/low calorie desserts. Ron's aunt Pattie first introduced me to this great recipe. One serving (one tortilla) is 90 calories and 3.5 grams of fat but delivers the rich satisfaction of a decadent dessert.
3 tbsp sugar
3tsp cinnamon
5 (6 in.) flour tortillas
non stick cooking spray
1 cup cold skim milk
1 pkg. sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 oz) package light cream cheese, softened
2 cups thawed light whipped topping
1 square semisweet baking chocolate
Combine sugar and cinnamon. Spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with cinnamon on both sides. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges. Stand tortilla in muffin cups with the pointed sides facing down. Bake 5-8 min. at 350 until barely golden. Cool in muffin pan. (This form shells as seen in above picture)
With mixer on low speed, beat milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Add cream cheese and beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate until chilled - at least one hour. When ready to serve, pipe 3 tbsp pudding mixture into each tortilla. Melt baking chocolate and drizzle over tortillas. Serve immediately (serves 20).
