The idea was to take some thinly sliced apples as the chips, and serve up all the fixings for dessert. I used my mandoline slicer to cut the apples thin. I can’t believe I went so long without a mandoline, I love that thing! To prevent browning I soak the apples in cold water and lemon juice. Then store in an airtight container until I’m ready to serve them. The lemon juice will slow down the browning quite a bit, but it doesn’t stop it completely. I also ended up buying some cinnamon chips or bunuelos from my local Mexican grocery store to add some more variety.
Toppings included:
- Chocolate Sauce
- Caramel Sauce
- Strawberry Sauce
- Crushed M&Ms
- Cookie dough bites
- Mini marshmallows
- Shredded coconut
- Mini chocolate chips
- Toffee bits
- Sprinkles
- Canned whipped topping
Everybody went nuts for the dessert nachos. They totally loved it. I spent some time prepping the apples, but otherwise this was so quick and easy. I love low maintenance ideas that deliver a big wow factor.
Here are some of the nachos all put together.
One happy customer!
