How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

Making Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos is a straightforward process that involves three main steps: making the cinnamon sugar chips, preparing the cheesecake dip, and assembling the box.

Ingredients:

6 small flour tortillas
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup fresh or canned strawberry pie filling
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:

Make the Cinnamon Sugar Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the tortilla triangles with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle it generously over the chips. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until they’re golden and crispy. Let them cool completely; they will crisp up even more as they cool down.
Prepare the Cheesecake Dip: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until it’s smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until you have stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it’s well combined and fluffy.
Assemble the Box: Place the cinnamon sugar chips in one section of your serving box or platter. Spoon the cheesecake dip into a small bowl or section. Add the strawberry pie filling into another section or bowl.
Serve and Enjoy: Your Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos Box is ready to serve! Enjoy this sweet treat with friends and family.

How to Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos fresh, right after you assemble them. Provide small plates or napkins for easy eating, and let everyone scoop chips into the cheesecake dip and strawberry filling. It’s a great shareable dessert for gatherings!

How to Store Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

If you have leftovers, store the cinnamon sugar chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Keep the cheesecake dip and strawberry pie filling in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. These can stay fresh for about three days. However, it’s best to enjoy them fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Tips to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

Variation

You can change up the flavors by using different dessert dips, like chocolate or vanilla, or by adding nuts on top for an extra crunch. Feel free to experiment with different toppings to suit your taste!
