Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 1 cup melted chocolate
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing strawberries into thin, heart-shaped pieces if possible.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer across the baking sheet, creating an even, overlapping pattern that covers the entire surface.
- Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully liquid.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the tortilla chips, ensuring even coverage and creating decorative chocolate patterns.
- Carefully distribute sliced strawberries across the chocolate-covered chips, pressing them slightly into the warm chocolate.
- Add dollops of whipped cream strategically between the chips and strawberries.
- Sprinkle colorful Valentine's Day-themed or pink/red sprinkles over the entire dessert nacho arrangement.
- For optional warmth, place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to slightly warm the chocolate.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow chocolate to set slightly.
- Serve immediately on the baking sheet or transfer to a decorative serving platter for a romantic presentation.
Tips
- Strawberry Styling: Take extra time to slice strawberries into heart shapes for an adorable, romantic presentation.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use a double boiler for the smoothest, most even chocolate melting. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
- Temperature Trick: A quick 3-5 minute warm-up in the oven helps the chocolate become glossy and slightly more fluid.
- Decorative Drizzling: Use a spoon or squeeze bottle for more precise and artistic chocolate drizzling.
- Sprinkle Strategy: Choose Valentine's themed or pink/red sprinkles to enhance the romantic aesthetic.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after preparing to maintain the perfect chip crispness and chocolate warmth.
- Make It Personal: Consider adding additional toppings like mini marshmallows, crushed candy hearts, or edible glitter for extra flair.
