Finally, this recipe demonstrates how nachos are not only a snack or appetizer but that they are also perfect as dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 box (2 crusts) prepared pie dough in a roll
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed
- 2 cups cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
Mix together 1 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl.
Unroll the pie dough, brush with egg and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar. Cut each dough round into 12 to 14 thin wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
While the pie crust chips are baking, puree 1 cup of the raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, if needed, to make a sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 cup of the cream and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla in a small saucepan until starting to steam but not boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and mix well until all the chocolate is combined.
Whisk together the remaining 1 cup cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until light and fluffy.
When the pie chips are ready, place half of them onto a serving tray. Top with half of the raspberry and chocolate sauces and the rest of the raspberries. Add the remaining chips and top with the remaining raspberry and chocolate sauces, and the whipped cream and nuts. Serve immediately.
