"You might be surprised to learn that a flour tortilla forms the shell for these inspired pastry-like desserts. For a festive touch, I decorate the serving plate with raspberries and mint."

Great dessert recipe and easy and affordable to make. Tastes like a sopapilla with cheesecake in it, and the calories aren't half bad either.
