• 1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 (3 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 40 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Brush both sides of flour tortilla pieces with melted butter; sprinkle each with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Gently fit each tortilla piece into a prepared muffin cup, shaping the tortilla to make a shell.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until tortilla shells are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Beat milk, cream cheese, and pudding mix in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Fill each tortilla shell with about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top each with a maraschino cherry.
