Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos Treat

Seriously. I think that this Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos Treat has probably the most fun of all the desserts I have made. The first time I put it together, I was not really sure whether it would become more of a playful snack food or an indulgent cheesecake, but honestly, it turned out to be the best of both worlds. It’s the kind of thing that interrupts people in the middle of a bite and makes them say, “Wait, what is this?”.

What are Strawberry Cheesecake Nachos Treats?

Think of it as dessert nachos with sweet imagination. Instead of those little crisp tortilla chips, you get these wonderful crispy, cinnamon-sugar baked chips. Instead of salsa, you have this amazing cream, cheese cheesecake filling. And instead of cheese, you have luscious strawberries with drizzles of chocolate or caramel. It’s crunchy, creamy, fruity, and oh-so delicious.

Why This Recipe Is Special

This isn’t just another cheesecake recipe. It’s a shareable, hands-on, crowd-pleasing dessert that feels fun but still tastes classy. No springform pans or long baking times-all done in less than 30 minutes. Plus, it’s a great recipe for parties or family gatherings because everyone can dive into nacho style.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls- One for the cheesecake filling, one for tossing the chips.
• Hand mixer or whisk- To whip the cream cheese mixture to a fluffy consistency.

• Knife & cutting board- To chop strawberries into tiny bite-sized pieces.

Ingredients

(Serves 6–8 people)

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips:

• 8 small flour tortillas (about 20 cm / 8 in)
• 4 tbsp (56 g) melted butter
• 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp (3 g) ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract

Toppings:

• 1 1/2 cups (250 g) fresh strawberries, diced
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
• Optional: caramel drizzle, crushed graham crackers, or white chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and refresh. Turn on the oven to 350°C (175°C) and line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Papchicha. Brush with melted butter, hint to both sides of the tortilla. Next, mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle generously over the tortillas. Cut each tortilla into wedges like a pizza slice and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
3. Crisp-dry. Bake the oven for 10-12 minutes until it’s golden brown and crunchy. It must cool all the way so that it will be crisp.
4. Ms Cheesecake’s filling. Beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in the bowl until you get a smooth consistency. Add heavy cream and beat again until it’s fluffy, light, and almost icing-like.
5. What nachos are. Spread the chips onto a serving platter. Dollop cheesecake filling over them or pipe it in. Scatter strawberries evenly on top.
6. Drizzle over the top. Drizzle some chocolate syrup (and caramel, if you’re feeling generous) over everything. Add sinful diving crunch with graham cracker crumbs.
7. Serve immediately. Nachos taste good when they are fresh, so have them when the chips are still crisp.

Serving Ideas

• Put everything on a platter and allow the guests to grab bites.
• Make the individual servings in bowls or cups for a cleaner presentation.
• Top with whipped cream for an extra creamy layer.

Variations & Customizations

• Fruit zap – Use blueberries, raspberries, or mango instead.
• Sauce switch: Caramel, Nutella, or even strawberry syrup.
• Tropical vibe – Sprinkle with shredded coconut and drizzle with white chocolate.
• A healthier version of Greek yoghurt can replace cream cheese in the filling.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Chips – store cooled cinnamon sugar chips in an airtight container, at room temperature, for about 3 days.
• Filling – cheesecake filling made, refrigerated storage for up to 2 days.
• Assembly – Always assemble a dish just before serving so that the chips do not become soggy.

Pro Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

• Cut tortillas evenly so they bake crisp without burning edges.
• Soft cream cheese is key – cold cream cheese will make your filling lumpy.
• Don’t overbake chips – they go from golden to burnt quickly. Keep an eye out.
• Assemble last minute – never let the filling sit on the chips too long before serving.
• Play with toppings – this recipe loves creativity, so don’t be shy.
