Check out these yummy creatures. I made them before Valentine's Day, but never got a chance to post them. I was looking for a fun idea for a lower-fat/calorie treat and discovered that won-ton wrappers are a fabulous solution. Compared to pie crust and pastries, these guys come out ahead by a long shot. And they are crispy and cute, too!
Place the 'raw' wonton wrappers in a mini muffin tin. I thought the round ones fit better in the pan than the square ones. If they are too cold, they have a hard time molding to the shape, so all you have to do is place it on a warm frying pan for just a second to make it more mold-able. Seriously just a second, though, or they bake, and then try to mold them!!
Bake these shells for 8-9 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from pan to cool.
Meanwhile, whip up your cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake Filling
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (8 oz.) container cool whip
1 cup sour cream
Beat cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Blend well. Fold in cool whip, mixing it in well. Let it set up in the fridge for 20 minutes or so.
(Low fat or fat free ingredients can be used, it's just not quite as fluffy, a little more runny-ish.)
After it sets up, scoop a spoonful into each cup. Top with strawberries or blueberries or kiwi or whatever makes your heart happy...
Or if you don't believe that a treat is a treat unless chocolate is involved, melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle on the top!
And oh-my-gosh look how fun this will be for Easter!!
Enjoy!
