Ingredients
Reduced-fat creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
9 (divided)
Butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons (melted)
Fat-free vanilla pudding cups
3 ((3 1/2 ounce each, such as Hunt's Snack Pack))
Frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping
1/2 cup (thawed)
Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Prepare your workspace by placing paper or foil muffin cup liners into 6 muffin cups.
2
In a zip-top plastic bag, place 4 of the reduced-fat chocolate cookies and finely crush them using a meat mallet or rolling pin until they resemble fine crumbs.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter or margarine and stir until thoroughly mixed.
4
Press the cookie-crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup liner to form a solid base for your tortoni.
5
Using the same method, place the remaining 5 cookies in a plastic bag and coarsely crush them for topping.
6
In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the coarsely crushed cookies with the vanilla pudding, thawed whipped topping, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and smooth.
7
Carefully divide the creamy pudding mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, layering it over the cookie base.
8
Sprinkle the remaining coarsely crushed cookies evenly over the tops of each cup to create a flavorful topping.
9
Cover the muffin cups with plastic wrap or a lid, and place them in the freezer until firm, about 2-4 hours or until set.
10
To store the frozen tortoni, gently remove them from their muffin cups and transfer them to a large heavy-duty zip-top bag or an airtight container labeled with the recipe name. These treats can be frozen for up to 1 month.
11
When ready to serve, allow the tortoni to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier serving.
