I can't remember if it was Applebees orChili's that had the vanilla ice cream scroop with nuts, fudgeand a cherry on top sitting in the middle of cinnamon chips inthe shape of tortilla wedges. That was one of my favoritedesserts. No matter how full I was, I always ordered that dessert.Thinking about this made me get a bit nostalgic and I wonderedif there was a way I could re-create that recipe. I searched onthe Internet, and sure enough I found what I was looking for. Sohere's what I call Dessert Style Chips & Dip. :-)Cinnamon Chips w/Ice Cream2 cups sugar/cinnamon mixbutter flavored cooking spray10 (10 inch) tortillas (flour or corn)Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Coat each side of each tortillawith cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange in a singlelayer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with desiredamount of sugar/cinnamon and spray again with cooking spray.Bake in oven for 8 to 10 minutes (ovens may vary). Repeat withany remaining tortilla wedges, and allow to cool forapproxiamately 15 minutes. Serve with any flavor ice cream youwant.Or alternatively, you can serve it with fruit and spice mixturecalled 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 youdon't want to use sugar, or you want to cut down on thecalories, you can substitute Splenda (or your other favoritesugar substitute) instead. This can work for can apply to otherdessert recipes containing sugar as well. Article Tags: Dessert Style Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
