“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."
~ Waverly Root (1903-1982)

Cheese "Danish" Recipe


Recipe Ingredients:

1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
5 (6- to 7-inch) flour tortillas
Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup Cold skim milk
1 package (4-serving size) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Sugar-Free Instant Pudding and Pie Filling
1 carton (8 oz.) pasteurized process cream cheese product
2 cup Thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping
1 oz Square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

 

Recipe Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine sugar and cinnamon. Spray tortillas with non-stick cooking
spray. Sprinkle each tortilla with a scant 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar
mixture. Turn tortillas over; repeat. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges.
Stand rounded edges (outside edge) of each tortilla wedge in bottom of
muffin cup, curling sides in to fit cup. Bake 10 minutes or until crisp and
lightly browned. Cool in pan. (Note: when you have the tortillas in the
muffin cups, the point will be standing up above the pan.)
Pour milk into large mixing bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat at low speed
with electric mixer until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in cream
cheese product at medium speed until smooth. Gently stir in whipped
topping. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
When ready to serve, fill each tortilla shell with a scant 3 Tablespoons
pudding mixture, using a pastry bag or spoon. Place chocolate in small
freezer-weight zippered plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until
chocolate is melted. Fold over top of bag tightly; snip off one tiny
corner (about 1/8-inch) from bottom of bag. Holding bag tightly at top,
drizzle chocolate over desserts. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 5
minutes. Makes 20 servings.

Note: Cover and freeze any leftover desserts. Thaw in refrigerator as
needed.

NOTE: Using light cream cheese (Neufchatel) and fat-free flour
tortillas will greatly lower the fat content and probably change some of
the other important figures as well. You might also get away with using a
sugar substitute that is appropriate for cooking/baking if you are
uncomfortable using sugar. (Trish)
