Cinnamon Cheesecake Sundaes

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Ruthanne

Crispy shells covered in melted cinnamon and sugar hold a surprise- a rich and creamy cheesecake filling covered with your favorite sundae toppings!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 c. sugar (divided)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • cooking spray
  • 1 (8oz) package of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 (8 oz) tub of Cool Whip
  • chocolate sundae topping (or any flavor you like!)
  • rainbow sprinkles 🙂

DIRECTIONS:

  • CUPS: Lay 12 wonton wrappers out on a flat surface
  • Spray both front and back sides of wrappers with cooking spray.
  • Mix 1/2 c. sugar with the cinnamon
  • Carefully coat each wonton wrapper in sugar and cinnamon on both sides.
  • Poke the wrapper down into a muffin cup that has also been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake wrappers at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes (check often) until golden brown on edges.
  • Remove from muffin tin and allow to cool on a plate.
  • FILLING:  Mix Philadelphia Cream Cheese with remaining 1/2 c. sugar until well blended
  • Add vanilla and blend well.
  • Stir in 1/2 of a container of Cool Whip and stir until smooth.
  • When cups are cool, spoon filling evenly into each cup (I used a Small Cookie Scoop to get the “ice cream” look)
  • Top with chocolate or other toppings.
  • Pipe or spoon remaining Cool Whip on the top and then decorate with sprinkles.
  • ENJOY!

Serves: 12

 

My thoughts:

I created this recipe for the 2011 Real women of Philadelphia cooking contest.  I love the challenge of these contests- they make me think outside the box!  I’ve made this recipe 3 times now and it turns out perfect every time.  What a fun little dessert!  Hope you get a chance to try it out and make the people in your life smile 🙂

    I just made this and came out great especially for being my 1st time!:)
    I do have a question. If I think the filling is too sweet and too heavy; what can I add or remove??
    I was thinking using light creme cheese and maybe more whip cream? Any suggestions??

      Well, for the sweetness you’d reduce the amount of sugar you add and for the heaviness reduce the cream cheese. Adding more Cool Whip will lighten it up as well. I just love the little cups- so much fun to make! You really could fill them with any kind of mousse or pudding combination. Have fun experimenting!!

    This looks so good! I am in love with your site! These remind me of edible bowls I often make by brushing small flour tortillas with melted butter and sprinkling with cinnamon sugar before baking them in tortilla bowl molds or in ramekins. I first made these for a Cinco De Mayo party years ago to hold homemade jalapeno ice cream (basic ice cream base with jalapeno jelly) or Mexican hot chocolate ice cream (cinnamon and chocolate). I often wanted to do the edible bowls with chocolate cheesecake filling, but they were just too big for such a heavy filling. The won ton shells, however, are PERFECT. I’m imagining all sorts of fillings for these! BTW, your site is my new favorite food porn source.
