Dessert Nachos Recipe Ingredients

For the Nachos:

• 4 cups store-bought flour tortilla chips, unsalted
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup grated semisweet chocolate
• 1 cup grated white chocolate

For the Creme Fraiche:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as triple sec

For the Warm Berry Salsa:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon liqueur of choice, such as orange-flavored cognac
• 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup raspberries
• Optional: Hot sauce or chile-garlic sauce

How To Make Dessert Nachos Recipe

1. Make the Creme Fraiche: In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and liqueur until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 to 30 minutes to chill and thicken.
2. Make the Warm Berry Salsa: In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the sugar and liqueur, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the sugar begins to caramelize and brown. Remove from the heat, carefully stir in the vinegar and butter, then chill for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, stir in the berries. Reheat gently just before serving.
3. Prep the chips and oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss the tortilla chips with the cinnamon and granulated sugar until evenly coated.
4. Assemble and bake: Arrange the cinnamon-sugar chips in a mound on a large, oven-safe serving platter. Sprinkle the grated semisweet and white chocolate evenly over the top. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chocolate is perfectly melted.
5. Serve immediately: Remove the nachos from the oven and serve immediately with the chilled Creme Fraiche and Warm Berry Salsa for dipping.

Recipe Tips

• What kind of chips are best for dessert nachos? Sturdy, unsalted flour tortilla chips are the best choice. They provide a neutral, crispy base that holds up well to the toppings without being overly salty.
• Can I use different toppings? Absolutely! Feel free to get creative. A drizzle of caramel sauce, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or different types of fruit would all be delicious additions.
• How do I avoid soggy nachos? The key is to serve them immediately after they come out of the oven. The longer they sit with the melted chocolate and dips, the softer the chips will become.
• Can I make parts of this ahead of time? Yes. Both the Creme Fraiche and the Berry Salsa can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to bake the nachos right before you plan to serve them.

What To Serve With Dessert Nachos

These nachos are a complete dessert experience, but they pair wonderfully with a simple beverage.

• A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
• A glass of cold milk
• A hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate

How To Store Dessert Nachos

• Refrigerate: Dessert nachos are best eaten fresh and hot from the oven and do not store well once assembled, as the chips will become soggy. Leftover Creme Fraiche and Berry Salsa can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
