Chips and Dip, Dessert Style

Applebees
and Chilis have been my two favorite restaurants ever
since I was a kid. I can't remember if it was Applebees
or Chili's that had the vanilla ice cream scroop with
nuts, fudge and a cherry on top sitting in the middle
of cinnamon chips in the shape of tortilla wedges.
That was one of my favorite desserts. No matter how
full I was, I always ordered that dessert.
Thinking
about this made me get a bit nostalgic and I wondered
if there was a way I could re-create that recipe.
I searched on the Internet, and sure enough I found
what I was looking for. So here's what I call Dessert
Style Chips and Dip. :-)
Cinnamon
Chips w/Ice Cream
2 cups
sugar/cinnamon mix butter flavored cooking spray
10 (10 inch) tortillas (flour or corn)
Preheat
oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Coat each side of each tortilla
with cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange in
a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges
with desired amount of sugar/cinnamon and spray again
with cooking spray.
Bake in
oven for 8 to 10 minutes (ovens may vary). Repeat
with any remaining tortilla wedges, and allow to cool
for approxiamately 15 minutes. Serve with any flavor
ice cream you want.
Or alternatively,
you can serve it with fruit and spice mixture called:
Fruit Salsa/Dip
In a large bowl, mix:
2 kiwis
(peeled and dried),
2 apples (peeled, cored, and dried),
1 (8 ounce) package of raspberries,
1 pound of strawberries,
2 tablespoons of white sugar,
1 tablespoon of brown sugar,
3 tablespoons of fruit preserves (any flavor)
and cover
and chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Here's
a great tip I got from one of my YJD subscribers:
if you don't want to use sugar, or you want to cut
down on the calories, you can substitute Splenda (or
your other favorite sugar substitute) instead. This
can work for can apply to other dessert recipes containing
sugar as well.
