These Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos are a delightful dessert perfect for sharing. Crispy cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips are paired with a creamy cheesecake dip and topped with a sweet strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries. Easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious, they make a fun and elegant treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips

  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Dip

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)

For the Strawberry Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for ensuring your tortilla chips become perfectly crispy and golden.
  2. Butter the Tortillas: Brush both sides of each tortilla evenly with melted unsalted butter to help the sugar and cinnamon stick and to add flavor.
  3. Add Cinnamon-Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the buttered tortillas for a sweet and spicy coating.
  4. Cut and Arrange: Cut the tortillas into triangles to create chip-sized pieces. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
  5. Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool completely to maintain their crispiness.
  6. Make the Cheesecake Dip: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  7. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten the texture. Refrigerate this dip until you’re ready to serve so it stays firm and fresh.
  8. Prepare the Strawberry Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberry jam and water. Stir until smooth and warmed through, then toss in the sliced fresh strawberries. Let this mixture cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavor.
  9. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the cinnamon-sugar chips on a serving tray. Serve alongside the cheesecake dip and strawberry topping in separate bowls, allowing your guests to create their own delicious combinations.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
  • You can use store-bought whipped topping as a convenient alternative to whipped cream.
  • Make sure to cool the cinnamon-sugar chips completely after baking to keep them crisp.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the cheesecake dip by varying the amount of powdered sugar to your taste.
  • Fresh strawberries add a nice texture contrast, but you can substitute with other fresh berries if preferred.
