Dessert Nachos (vegan, gluten & refined sugar-free)
Creamy, chocolatey and smothered in almond butter caramel, these Dessert Nachos are the perfect sweet treat! Plus, they're totally vegan and gluten-free.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- ½ a 350g bag Que Pasa Salted Corn Tortilla Chips
- ½ tablespoon avocado oil (or any other non-flavoured oil)
- 2 tablespoon coconut sugar (you can use regular sugar if preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon almond butter (you could sub this for peanut if preferred)
- 2½ tablespoon maple syrup
- 8 squares dark chocolate (or try my vegan chocolate ganache)
- 1 batch coconut whipped cream (you'll need 1 400ml can of coconut milk)
- ⅓ cup toasted pecan halves
- 3-4 sliced strawberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the tortilla chips in the avocado oil until coated (you can also use a pastry brush to brush the oil on them if you want a more even texture).
- Mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon together, then toss the tortilla chips in the mixture until well coated.
- Spread the chips out on a large baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, being careful not to burn them.
- Flip them over and broil for another 1-2 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Using an electric whisk, beat the melted coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup for about 2 minutes until fully combined. The mixture should look like caramel.
- Store in the fridge for 5 minutes to firm up very slightly, so it isn't totally runny (it should still be of the consistency that you're able to drizzle it).
- Gently melt the dark chocolate in a small bowl over a saucepan filled with boiling water until it is runny. Remove from the heat.
To Assemble
- Spread the tortilla chips out on a large plate, and top with dollops of coconut whipped cream, toasted pecan halves and sliced strawberries.
- Drizzle the almond butter caramel over the nachos in zigzags, then do the same with the dark chocolate.
- Eat immediately. These nachos will go a little soggy if left for too long (as if you would!)
