Tips About Making Mixed Berry Cinnamon Sugar Nachos

I have some additional notes about this super easy dessert nachos recipe. They might be helpful when you try to make this simple but delicious recipe at home:

• If you’re serving these mixed berry dessert nachos as a fun party snack, you can bake them the night before. Then, store the cooled tortilla chips in an airtight container on your counter, and they should be ready for plating with berries and ice cream the next day.
• The warm cinnamon and sweet-tart berries are delicious with some white chocolate. Make your dessert nachos more indulgent with grated white chocolate before baking!
• I had some leftover sweet nachos, so I removed the ice cream and stored everything in the fridge. I’ve used an airtight container, and the chips remained crispy.

How To Store Dessert Nacho Chips

It’s unlikely, but if you have some leftover mixed berry dessert nachos, you can keep them without the ice cream and fruits on the counter in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.

But for more extended storage, here are some tips to keep your dessert nachos crispy after refrigerating or freezing:

Fridge: Store your cinnamon sugar tortilla chips in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

Freezer: You can freeze your dessert nachos in a freezer-safe bag for three months in the freezer.

Reheating: Defrost your frozen tortilla chips, then microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds to make them crispy.

What Goes Good With Nachos Dessert?

You can combine many delicious toppings and flavors for this dessert nachos recipe. Add sliced bananas, roasted pecans, peanut butter chips, or drizzle caramel sauce over the sweet nachos before serving.

Which Sauce Can Be Served As Dessert?

You can make a sauce with fresh or frozen fruits for dessert. But since these mixed berry dessert nachos already get their fruity flavors from fresh berries, try a chocolate sauce made from chocolate chips, cream, sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla!

How Do You Make Nachos Not Soggy?

These sweet tortilla chips are best enjoyed fresh, but storing them in an airtight container should prevent them from losing their crunch. You can also avoid soggy nachos by baking them in a single layer and only adding the ice cream before serving.
