Save A playful, sweet twist on the classic appetizer: crispy homemade chocolate tortilla chips served with a vibrant, refreshing fruit salsa. Perfect for parties or as an inventive finish to any meal.
I first made dessert chips & salsa for a family movie night, and everyone loved dunking the chocolate chips in the fruity salsa. It quickly became a favorite treat to whip up when we want something special but simple.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips: 4 flour tortillas (8-inch), 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted), 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1⁄8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional), pinch of salt
- Fruit Salsa: 1 cup fresh strawberries (diced), 1 medium kiwi (peeled and diced), ½ cup fresh pineapple (diced), ½ cup mango (diced), ½ small apple (diced), 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 tbsp fresh mint (finely chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chips:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt in a small bowl. Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle the cocoa-sugar mixture evenly on both sides. Stack tortillas and cut into 8 wedges each. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake and Cool:
- Bake chips for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp. Let cool completely.
- Make Fruit Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, mango, and apple. Drizzle with lime juice and honey, add mint if desired, and toss gently to mix.
- Serve:
- Arrange chocolate chips with fruit salsa for dipping.
