When inspiration hits;
The idea for these festive and delicious red, white, & blue dessert nachos came to me one night while I was laying in bed after waking from a sound sleep.
While I was patiently waiting for the sandman to come and whisk me back off to dreamland, I had a lightbulb moment.
I don’t know about you, but some of my best ideas come to me in the middle of the night when I wake from a sound sleep. It’s a good thing I’ve learned to keep a notepad and pen on my nightstand so I can write things down so I won’t forget my ideas in the morning.
If there’s one thing I’m certain of, these incredibly delicious patriotic nachos are worth remembering!
Why this dessert nacho recipe works;
My favorite thing about these dessert nachos may be the homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips that are so, so easy to make and taste just like cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
Of course, the white chocolate drizzle and fresh raspberries and blueberries don’t hurt either. Not to mention the sweetened flaked coconut which tops these yummy nachos to perfection.
Serve these patriotic dessert nachos for Memorial Day, and the 4th of July! I promise you’ll hear all the “oohs” and “aahs” from your family and friends, just as if they were watching the fireworks in the night sky!
Can I make these dessert nachos ahead of time?
If needed, make the cinnamon sugar nacho chips in advance and then keep them loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
As far as topping the chips with the berries, chocolate, and coconut, I suggest you do that the same day you’re serving the nachos.
Can dessert nachos be frozen?
No. The chips won’t be crispy once thawed, and the berries will be mushy.
Additional suggested toppings for dessert nachos;
- Chopped Nuts (your favorite variety)
- Whipped Cream
- M & M’s
- Reeses Pieces
- Gummy candy
- Skittles
- Bananas
- Apples
- Pears
- Pineapple
- Dark Chocolate
- Toffee Pieces
- Rice Krispies
- Just about anything you can think of…

Since summertime is also picnic season, I’ve decided to coordinate this recipe with this fun set of hand-painted Picnic Ants champagne flutes and wine glasses that a customer ordered from me last year. I only wish I knew what they were going to do with all these ants because I’ll bet it was one heck of a party!
And I also couldn’t close out a recipe post for Red, White and Blue Dessert Nachos that referrers to Memorial Day and the 4th of July without including some of my hand painted patriotic pilsners…BOOM!

Hooray for dessert nachos! My kids will lose their minds when I make these…that is, if I decide to share them.
After I took the pictures, I gobbled up a whole bunch all by myself. I couldn’t help myself. LOL
Dessert nachos! What a cool idea! Love the patriotic theme, and also that they’re a little bit decadent and a little bit healthy
Thanks, Helen! They’re the best of both worlds! 😉
This is such a fun, festive dessert idea! Love it!
Thank you, Stephanie!
Love that you made your own sweet tortilla chips for these – great idea!! My family would love these, we might have to try them this weekend! i know I just bought a ton of berries, so we are set there!
I always have berries in the fridge it seems. The tortilla chips can also be deep fried, but I wanted to keep the calories down a little. HA!
I think I’m going to try these this weekend! So fun, and I just love the coconut sprinkled on top! Love those Picnic Ants glasses, too! Have a great weekend!
Glad you like the funny glasses. Thank you, Patricia. I know you’ll enjoy the nachos too!
These nachos take the typical appetizer treats to a whole new level! These babies are perfect for Memorial Day!
