Cinnamon and sugar tortilla chips covered in caramel, no bake cheesecake and toffee bits – These Cheesecake Nachos are the perfect dessert nacho recipe!
How I created these cheesecake dessert nachos
So it’s another food holiday! National nacho day!!! WHAAAA seriously what a great day. ANYWAY my head started spinning with all the nacho recipes I wanted to make…. And funny enough I ended up with a sweet nacho dip vs a savory one – I know I’m shocking you… Seriously though I thought this would be good, when is cheesecake not, but DANG it turned out amazing. I mean not to toot my own horn (but I do have a food blog to share recipes, right?) but I think I have a new favorite dessert.
Start out with some uncooked tortillas – you want to brush them with melted butter and cover in cinnamon and sugar then baked – they get crunchy and AMAZING. Make some no bake cheesecake and some homemade caramel sauce! cover the chips in the caramel, and the no bake cheesecake and then add something fun like TOFFEE BITS!!! I also bought a ton of berries… then forgot to put them on, UGH. I’m sure they’d be amazing too. Seriously – whatever you like on cheesecake would be great on this.
Just take me to the delicious dessert recipe already!

The Perfect no bake cheesecake nachos
- No bake cheesecake is cream cheese beaten with sugar until sweet and then mixed with some fresh whipped cream.
- The cream cheese stabilizes the whipped cream so you can pour it in a crust and let it set or like me mix it up and pipe it into jars, or onto cinnamon and sugar CHIPS!!!
- Because the cheesecake sets when you stir it to pipe on you’ll break it down a little and it won’t be as thick, you can just spoon it on, but piping is so pretty!
- Some people add sour cream, or flour, or lemon zest, anything you would add to a traditional cheesecake recipe (other than the eggs of course) works – but I like simpler ingredients.
- The tortilla chips – you CAN use cooked tortillas for this BUT they won’t be as good – promise – these get puffy and light and are just the right crispiness to work as a dessert
- I use my homemade caramel sauce – but of course use any brand you like.
- I fully admit it may not be the most picture perfect beautiful dish – but DANG it seriously tastes amazing and that’s all I really want out of a dessert at the end of the day!

I love every single thing about these nachos! Cream cheese, caramel, and toffee bits are three of my favorite things on the planet. Being able to scoop them all up in one bite on a cinnamon sugar chip sounds like heaven!
