About

Dessert Nachos have the same scoopable sensationalism of their savory cousins, but with sweetness instead! The tortilla chips are coated in cinnamon sugar and butter to invoke the delight of churros and then topped with ice cream because, what dessert is complete without ice cream? Everything gets piled around a tart, fruity, and sugary berry salsa and drizzled with a homemade chocolate sauce. If you love Taco Tuesdays, then Dessert Nachos are how you bring the evening to its most incredible conclusion!
