How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

Quick Overview

This is one of those recipes that’s as fun to make as it is to eat! In just about 25 minutes, you can have a tray full of crispy cinnamon chips topped with luscious cheesecake filling and vibrant strawberries. Minimal effort, maximum payoff!

Key Ingredients for Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

• Tortilla Chips (or make your own with flour tortillas, cinnamon, and sugar)
• Fresh Strawberries (hulled and chopped)
• Cream Cheese (softened)
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Cinnamon
• Sugar
• Butter (melted, if making homemade chips)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tortilla wedges with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Topping: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture.
3. Prepare the Strawberries: Hull and dice the strawberries. You can toss them with a little sugar for extra sweetness if you like.
4. Assemble the Nachos: Spread the cinnamon chips on a large serving platter. Dollop or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chips. Scatter strawberries generously over the top.
5. Optional Toppings: Drizzle with chocolate sauce, sprinkle with more powdered sugar, or add a few mint leaves for color.
6. Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh so the chips stay nice and crunchy!

What to Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos With

• Refreshing Drinks: Try a sparkling lemonade, fruity sangria, or even a berry smoothie.
• Other Sweet Treats: Pair with mini cheesecakes or fruit kabobs for a full dessert spread.
• Savory Contrast: Offer a light charcuterie board or some salty snacks to balance the sweetness.

Mix and match based on your vibe — picnic, party, or cozy night in!

Top Tips for Perfecting Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos

• Use Fresh Strawberries: Frozen ones tend to release too much juice and can make the chips soggy.
• Chill the Cheesecake Mixture: Keeping it cool helps it hold its shape when piped onto the chips.
• Assemble Last Minute: To keep everything crisp, put the nachos together just before serving.
• Switch It Up: Try adding blueberries, raspberries, or even a drizzle of caramel.
• Homemade Chips > Store-Bought: Making your own cinnamon-sugar chips really elevates the dish.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Storage: If you have leftover cheesecake filling and strawberries, store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
• Chips: Keep leftover cinnamon chips in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: Not recommended to freeze assembled nachos, but you can freeze the cheesecake filling separately. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
• Reheating: If your chips get a bit soft, reheat them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to crisp them back up.
