Sweet Nachos

Okay, so this picture does NOT give this sweet dessert justice.  Trust me when I say that there is nothing like this.  The flavor combinations are absolutely indescribable!  You have to taste it for yourself.  Once you have, you will crave it every second until you have it again.  I know this from personal experience.  My husband and I used to go to a little local Mexican restaurant that just happened to be next to a dog food factory.  Yes, you read that correctly.  It looked like a little run down place, no lights around outside,very dark, very creepy and you honestly didn't know if your car was going to be there after you had finished and left the restaurant.  But this is the very reason that we would risk anything just to get a taste of these nachos for dessert.  Then, we moved away, 65 miles away to be exact, and we wondered how we would get our fix...and than I thought about the actual ingredients involved.  Not very complicated!  So, one night I made them and it was just like being back in that little run down shack!  I even created the honey butter recipe from scratch.  It's really tasty and sweet! Priceless.  Make them.  You will thank me later.  :)

Sweet Nachos

serves 4 

(but my husband and I can have the plate licked clean easily--just the 2 of us)

Oil for frying

6 flour tortillas- cut into 8 triangles each (48 triangles total)

Your favorite Vanilla Ice Cream

Honey Butter (recipe below)

Cinnamon and sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar + 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon)

dash of cinnamon

Heat oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat.  You can tell when the oil is hot enough by placing the end of a wooden spoon into the oil and the oil bubbles around the spoon.  Place the tortillas into the oil in small batches until very lightly browned.  Place on paper towels and lightly sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.  Place tortillas on serving plate.  Scoop vanilla ice cream over tortillas.  Pour honey butter over ice cream and tortillas.  Sprinkle top with a dash of cinnamon.  You can make as little or as much of this recipe as you desire, just adjust the ingredients accordingly.  Enjoy!

Honey Butter

(this recipe makes a ton)

1 cup honey

1 cup butter, softened

5 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

dash of cinnamon

dash of nutmeg

Warm honey in the microwave or in a double broiler.  Using a mixer, add softened butter and mix until all the butter is melted through and blended well.  Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Mix until smooth and creamy.  You can poor into a squeeze bottle for later use, or just keep in a bowl in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!
