Another birthday's come and gone. I had a low key celebration - just the way I wanted it. I spent the day with some family. My original plan was to go peach picking, but the farm schedules were wonky and it was pretty hot out (such is late July). So instead, we hit up a farm store for their famous apple cider donuts, apple cider slushies, and fresh Jersey produce. Of course, I had to grab some fresh peaches while I was there!
Now that I have a bunch of peaches, I've been thinking about different ways to use them. Of course, nothing beats biting right into a juicy, ripened peach. But I also love a good peach ricotta bowl as a light lunch on a hot day or a Grilled Peach Caprese Salad as a delicious starter or side dish. And my most favorite summer dessert is definitely peach cobbler!
Nothing beats a real deal, homemade peach cobbler. But I have been known to put a twist on this classic peach dessert - like these Easy Upside Down Peach Cobbler Cups. So I decided to make some dessert nachos with a base of quick homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, a sweet peach topping, and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top!
Peach Cobbler Nachos
These dessert nachos are peachy perfection and fun to eat, too! They have that warm, cinnamon sugar flavor you'll find in classic peach cobbler with a juicy peach topping made on the stovetop. You could use whipped cream to finish off these nachos, but it's summertime! So I totally suggest going big with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream (or even peach ice cream, if you can find it)!
To start these dessert nachos, we need to make our chips. Cut a couple flour tortillas into triangles. Then, brush with melted butter.
You could bake them in the oven or cook them in the air fryer (both are included in the recipe instructions below). I decided to air fry these, in batches, for about 6-8 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, toss them in cinnamon sugar.
With the chips done and set aside, start to work on the peach topping. Peel and slice a couple of fresh peaches. Then, add them to a small saucepan along with brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, plus cornstarch and water.
The mixture will thicken up and get bubbly. Once it reaches this state, take it off the heat, but keep it warm.
Now, we can start assembling the nachos. Place the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips on a serving dish. Spoon the peach mixture on top.
Then, add a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Or use whipped cream. Serve immediately.
