How I Did It
- I used a muffin pan instead of paper cupcake liners.
- I used less than 10 tortillas as specified in the recipe.
- After cuting each tortilla into wedges I had to cut each wedge again to fit it into the muffin cup.
- I used Almond milk instead of fat-free milk.
- There was no chocolate in the house so I skipped that step.
The dessert shells were tasty and satisfied my sweet tooth but not so great that I'd prepare it again. For all the time and effort spent it wasn't worth it.
THAT'S IT***
