I landed on this recipe after looking for a simple dessert that also wouldn't be too heavy after an Italian meal. There's a bit of prep work involved, but it can all be done ahead of time and assembled quickly when you're ready.
And it was just as I hoped....easy and perfect after a filling meal. Because it took me a couple attempts to get the tortillas browned just right, I also had some leftovers for the next day!
INGREDIENTS:
3 Tbsp. melted butter
10 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 large strawberries, sliced
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup blackberries
1/2 cup raspberries
2-3 tsp. chocolate sauce
1 c. whipped cream (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter and use a pastry brush to coat an unbaked tortilla thoroughly. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the tortilla and repeat for the remainder.
Use a pizza wheel to slice the tortillas into triangles. First in half, then in thirds. Place the triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 6-8 minutes until puffed and golden.
Slice the fruit while the chips bake. Arrange the tortilla chips onto a platter. Top with sliced fruit. Drizzle warm hot chocolate sauce over the fruit and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Note: You can prep up to 2 days ahead of time, by baking the chips and putting them in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
