Diabetics and dessert lovers alike are "wowed" by these creamy treats. Says Susan Miller of Wakeman, Ohio, "After finding out my mother had diabetes, I went on a search for good recipes like this. These bites taste so yummy, no one will ever guess they're low in anything!"

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

Preparation

Step 1

•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 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!
