Ingredients
Tortilla Dessert Cups
6
(6-inch)
almond flour tortillas
such as Maria & Ricardo's Almond Flour Sea Salt Tortillas
2
Tablespoons
butter
melted
2
Tablespoons
granulated sugar
1
teaspoon
cinnamon
Fillings
fresh berries, honey
or other desired fillings
fresh whipped cream
or store-bought whipped cream
Fresh Whipped Cream
¾
cup
heavy cream
¼
cup
powdered sugar
Instructions
To Make Tortilla Dessert Cups
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut tortillas into quarters.
Brush both sides of each tortilla wedge with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Place 3 wedges into each non-stick muffin cup and gently press down.
Bake 375°F for 15 minutes.
Cool completely before filling with desired ingredients, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey.
To Make Fresh Whipped Cream
Chill mixer bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the freezer and pour in cold heavy cream.
With the whisk attachment, whip the cream starting on low speed and gradually increase speed to med-high speed.
Whip until the cream is thick and stiff peaks form. This will take several minutes.
Lastly, whip in powdered sugar until just combined, don't over mix.
Notes
If your tortillas are larger than 6 inches, slice in quarters but you may only need two wedges per muffin cup.
No need to grease a non-stick muffin pan. Since they are brushed with butter, they won't stick and should pop right out of the pan.
Don't press down too hard or the tortillas will break. If the tortillas do crack or break apart, that's ok. Just try to cover any holes.
Cool the cups completely before adding fillings, pop them in the fridge or freezer to speed things up.
