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!

Hi! These look amazing!! Have you ever made the chips the day before, or had any left and had the next day? Just wondering how they hold up. I’m wanting to make these for a Mexican themed Pinterest party. But dole yo a double booking, I need to make my stuff the day before.

I have to have gluten free chips and cannot find uncooked one , do you think I could use already made ones
Ashlee Marie
yes the baking time would just be different.
Cheryl
How many carbs per serving ?
Ashlee Marie
I don’t care about stuff like that so I never figure it out myself. the recipe card I use does calculate it – but I have no idea how accurate it is. it says 63 grams
Sarah
I’m making these for Fathers Day dessert (chicken wings for dinner so I thought it was a good fit!)
Trying to get prepared, how soon ahead do you think I could make the ‘chips’?
I’m so excited to try this!
Ashlee Marie
you can make them the day before – just don’t put the sauce and chips together of course.
Geri
Can you use cool whip instead of whipping heavy cream?
Ashlee Marie
yes, but it won’t taste as good as cool whip isn’t real dairy. But it will hold up.
Bailey

Ashlee Marie
flour tortillas
Donna
Are the chips corn or flour?
Ashlee Marie
flour tortillas
Margie
Did you use corn or flour tortillas?

This might be a silly question, but how do you know if the tortillas are unbaked? I could only find unbaked corn tortillas, not flour.
Ashlee Marie
I found the uncooked flour tortillas at both walmart and costco
Margaret wozniak
Can u make the chips the night before or would they get bad and what about the filling can u make the nite before too
Ashlee Marie
the filling can totally be made before, the chips can as well. Just be careful not to let them sit out and go stale.
