Dessert Nachos by Chef Carlos Rodriguez

Owner and Head Chef at Xolo, Carlos Rodriguez, grew up eating Buñuelos. Lucky for us, he was happy to write a recipe to turn these sweet tortilla chips into a Dessert Nacho masterpiece.

Ingredients

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Proper Crisps Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
  • Edible flowers and fresh mint to garnish (optional)

Spiced Syrup

  • 100 ml water
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Mixed-Berry Compote

  • 200 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 50 ml water (optional to reach ideal consistency)

Steps

In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, star anise, and cinnamon stick.

Heat gently until sugar dissolves; let infuse for a few minutes. Discard spice solids and reserve syrup.

In a saucepan, combine frozen berries, sugar, and water. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and sauce slightly thickens—about 8–15 minutes

Remove from heat and cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding a splash of lemon juice.

Open a bag of Cinnamon tortilla chips by Proper Crisps and put it in a big bowl.

Spoon over mixed-berry compote and drizzle over some reserved syrup. Add 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and edible flowers. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Buñuelos are a traditional Christmas dessert in Latin America, made from fried dough and dusted with sugar or topped with syrup. The origin of buñuelos can be traced all the way back to the second century B.C and over the years have evolved to various shapes, sizes and flavours based on the country and culture you’re in. We recommend trying our Buñuelos inspired Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate or with your favourite summer fruits and ice cream for a new dessert experience.
