Ingredients

Scale

Chips:

  • 8 small flour tortillas or sugar cookies
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream or whipped topping

Toppings:

  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • Chocolate sauce or melted chocolate
  • Caramel sauce
  • Crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
  • Fresh mint (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tortilla chips or sugar cookies.
  2. Prepare Chips: If using tortillas, cut them into triangles. Brush each piece with melted butter and generously sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet, crispy chip.
  3. Bake Chips: Place the prepared chips on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until they are crisp and golden. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely to set the crunch.
  4. Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the heavy whipping cream or whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until the texture is fluffy and well combined, creating the cheesecake layer.
  6. Assemble Base: Arrange the baked chips or sugar cookies neatly on a serving platter as the base for the nachos.
  7. Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chips to cover them with a creamy layer.
  8. Top with Strawberries: Scatter the sliced fresh strawberries over the cheesecake layer for fresh fruity flavor and color.
  9. Drizzle Sauces: Lightly drizzle melted chocolate or chocolate sauce and caramel sauce on top for added sweetness and decadence.
  10. Add Crunchy Toppings: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs to add texture and a hint of extra flavor.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and fruity flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute sugar cookies for flour tortillas if you prefer a sweeter and softer base.
  • For a lighter version, use whipped topping instead of heavy whipping cream in the cheesecake layer.
  • Make sure the chips are completely cooled before adding the cheesecake mixture to prevent sogginess.
  • Fresh strawberries can be replaced or complemented with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
