Ingredients
Scale
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips:
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup or melted chocolate (for drizzling)
- Optional: Sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or red candy hearts for extra decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered tortillas.
- Cut the tortillas into triangle shapes (like nacho chips) and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool completely.
- Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not bring to a boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Dessert Nachos:
- Once the cinnamon-sugar chips are cool, arrange them on a large platter or serving dish.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the chips, then top with fresh strawberry slices and a dollop of whipped cream.
- If desired, add chocolate syrup, sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or red candy hearts for extra festive flair.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy this fun and indulgent Valentine’s Day dessert with your loved ones!
Notes
- You can use store-bought whipped cream or make your own by whipping heavy cream with a little powdered sugar and vanilla.
- For an extra touch, try adding other fruits like raspberries or bananas to the nachos.
- Feel free to swap out the strawberries for another berry or even cherries if desired.
- If you prefer, you can drizzle the chocolate sauce directly onto the chips before serving.
