How to Make Peach Cobbler Nachos
Making Peach Cobbler Nachos is a simple process that takes just a few steps. Here’s how you can whip up this tasty dessert.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 package of tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon (optional)
- Extra sugar or crushed graham crackers (optional)
Directions:
-
Cook the Peaches: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the peaches soften. If you want a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water and add it to the peach mixture until thickened. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
-
Make Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it thickens. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, whisking until stiff peaks form.
-
Assemble the Nachos: Arrange the tortilla chips on a plate. Spoon the peach filling over the chips, then add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Optionally, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, extra sugar, or crushed graham crackers.

How to Serve Peach Cobbler Nachos
Serve your Peach Cobbler Nachos as a fun and interactive dessert. Let everyone help themselves to the nachos, so they can pile on the peach filling and whipped cream as they like. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm, making them a delightful treat at the end of a meal or during a snack break.
How to Store Peach Cobbler Nachos
If you have leftovers, store the peach filling and whipped cream separately from the tortilla chips. Place the peach filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The whipped cream can also be stored in the fridge, but it’s best to enjoy it fresh. The tortilla chips can get soggy if stored with the peach filling, so keep them dry until you’re ready to eat.
