Sometimes you just need a little bite of something sweet. I don't usually make dessert unless something special is afoot. I do believe today's recipe could be on hand for a "guilt-free" bite that could turn a regular meal into a special occasion! It comes from the current issue of DIABETIC COOKING. I think it would also make a really fun kid's cooking project.
BANANA SPLIT BITES
1 medium ripe banana, cut into 16 slices
16 frozen mini phyllo tart shells, thawed
3 tbsp. sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
1 ounce unsalted peanuts or slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
8 maraschino cherries, halved
Place 1 banana slice in each tart shell. Spoon equal amount of syrup on top of each (about 3/4 tsp.)
Top each with a tbsp. whipped topping, sprinkle evenly with nuts and place half a cherry on top of each. Serve immediately or may refrigerate up to 1 hour for peak flavors.
TIP: You may chill the unpeeled banana before slicing or you may chill the bites after assembling for more of an "ice cream" taste. You may also bake the phyllo tart shells for a few minutes before filling them.
