My sister prepared this as ONE of her desserts for a family dinner. All of us took a copy of the recipe. It was so Light and Tasty (!), made a big hit. Thanks for posting, Vino Girl.

I am so glad this was posted. I found this in my TOH's Light and Tasty magazine when I was asked to bring a diabetic friendly dessert to Church. This was the first dessert gone. I did make a few modifications to the recipe. I used the carb smart flour tortillas, quartered them and placed each quarter in a mini-muffin tin. They were an adorable bite size delight! These were so good I had to go home and make another batch for Church that night due to the fact so many didn't get a chance to sample them. This is definitely a repeat, Easy, commonly used ingredients and rave reviews. A definite winner! Thanks for the submission. I also used Splenda mixed with cinnamon to sprinkle the tortillas.

I have made this recipe in the past and it was fantastic. The only difference was that I used regular cream cheese and pudding. They were all gone early in the day!!

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
