Ingredients And Substitutions
Tortillas – These fruit nachos prove tortilla chips are not just for savory toppings!
Butter – Melted unsalted butter helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick to the crispy chips.
Granulated sugar – Feel free to adjust the amount, depending on your preferred sweetness. You can also use light brown sugar.
Cinnamon – Cinnamon with tortilla chips is a classic, but cozy spice blends like pumpkin pie spice are also delicious!
Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries – Try dessert nachos with seasonal fruits! Besides mixed berries, how about peaches and cream dessert nachos?
Almonds – You can also drizzle cinnamon dessert nachos with peanut butter for added nutty goodness or top them with crushed cookies and white chocolate chips for extra texture.
Vanilla ice cream – You can go with any flavor, but vanilla works best to balance the sweet, crispy cinnamon sugar tortillas. For the perfect finishing touch, drizzle some chocolate sauce on top!
Tips For Making This Recipe
Get the Cinnamon Sugar to Stick
Sprinkle your tortilla chips with cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm! You can also just place the unbaked tortilla wedges, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl with a lid and shake!
Make Your Own Dessert Nachos
Get creative with your dessert nachos! Skip the cinnamon sugar coating, plate the baked chips with a drizzle of caramel sauce, and swap the fruits with marshmallows, granola, and candies.
Storage Tips
These dessert nachos are best enjoyed right away, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day before they lose their crunch. If you’re only storing the homemade cinnamon tortilla chips without toppings, they’ll keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Dessert Nacho Recipe FAQs
How do you keep nachos from getting soggy?
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet with chips to ensure they’ll come out nice and crispy. And, of course, assemble your sweet nachos right before serving for the best texture.
How to make dessert nachos without an oven?
You can fry the cinnamon sugar chips in batches for no-bake dessert nachos! Heat your oil to 350°F, and cook the tortilla chips for about 30 seconds or until they start to brown.
Can you use frozen berries instead of fresh for this dessert nachos recipe?
Sure! But to avoid soggy dessert nachos, thaw and drain the frozen berries before adding them to the baked cinnamon sugar tortilla chips.
What can I use for nachos instead of tortilla chips?
You can make this dessert nacho recipe with pita bread chips! Just prep the pita bread the same way you would tortillas.
Can you make mixed berry dessert nachos ahead of time?
Yes, but I suggest assembling them right before serving. You can bake the chips as described in the recipe, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container on your counter for up to 2 days.
