Unfortunately, the cups did not keep their shape. We all thought the filling should have been made a day ahead of time so it could chill all together. Thank you for sharing this.

In addition: I believe the next time I make this dessert, I will put the filling in a crust and make it a whole pie. The filling is just a bit rich for the huge space a tortilla cup makes.

I didn't use tortillas, I used pie crust and cut it in little circles and baked them in a muffin tin , them once they were cooled I continued with the recipe. I did add about a tablespoon of lime jello powder to the filling, it made it a pretty color and added a little more "zing"..then I piled them on top with diced strawberries, them piped cool whip on top...very pretty! I got LOTS of happy customers!
