Now this was during Superbowl time even though I don't really watch the game. It is tailgating and parties and that's for everyone!! I was watching TV or more like reading and the TV was on, Restaurant Rescue with Robert Irvine I think, and I heard him mention, these are dessert nachos, you can sell them for $8 a plate. My head popped out of my book and said, nachos?? Dessert nachos? Ok, you have my attention. So I watch Mr. Irvine go through the steps and I thought I can make that. I needed ingredients:
Dessert Nachos
1 pkg flour tortillas regular sized
2 pkg frozen mixed fruit, chopped bite size
1 8-12 oz jar raspberry jam
mixed chocolate and white chocolate sauce
deep fryer w/ oil
1 cup granulated sugar mixed with 3-4 tsp cinnamon
Now the tortillas need to be cut into 1/4ths and set aside while oil is heating about 350-400
but first cut fruit while it's frozen and then mix the jam in and stir. Place in refrigerator after it has thawed a bit, maybe an hour.
first you will need the sugar and cinnamon mixed in a large bowl because the chips are going in right after being in oil so you will need tongs.
depending on how big you deep fryer is, you can put 3-4 at a time to watch and flip over when they are turning light brown. Take out and dump in sugar mixture. Once coated then have a pan or large basket lined with paper towel. Repeat these steps until you have fried all tortillas and dredged in sugar. Now to make the chocolate. You can use dark and milk chocolate chips in a pan with 1/2 small heavy cream and stir over low heat until chocolate melts. Add a capful vanilla flavoring. There are white chocolate chips and I would recommend melting them in microwave since they are more like an accent to everything. Get a nice plate and assemble the chips on there and then drizzle the dark chocolate over them and a bit of the white chocolate. In a little side bowl put your *salsa* or the fruit compote with jam you just did. Just make sure it's completely thawed out before serving. Trust me, it's delicious.
