Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Dip

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided: 1/2 teaspoon for dip, 1/2 teaspoon extra used)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate or 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Cinnamon Crisps

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dip: Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with an electric beater until stiff peaks form. No need to clean the beaters before moving on to the next step.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until creamy and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Combine Whipped Cream and Chocolate: Fold the whipped cream and finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate (or mini chocolate chips) into the cream cheese mixture gently using a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated.
  4. Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the dip in a covered bowl until serving time. Before serving, bring it to room temperature to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon thoroughly.
  7. Cut Tortillas: Using cookie cutters, cut the flour tortillas into desired shapes, or simply cut each tortilla into 6 or 8 wedges. For easier cutting, press the cookie cutter firmly on the tortilla with a rocking motion.
  8. Prepare Tortilla Shapes for Baking: Arrange the cut tortilla pieces on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each piece generously with melted butter to ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks well but avoid dripping.
  9. Add Cinnamon Sugar and Bake: Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar mixture over each buttered tortilla piece. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the crisps are deep golden and caramelized on top.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon crisps to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve alongside the cream cheese dip, or with graham crackers or pretzels as preferred.

Notes

  • To substitute chocolate, mini chocolate chips work well if you do not have a chocolate bar.
  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending and fluffier dip.
  • Brush the tortillas well with butter but avoid excess so the crisps bake evenly without sogginess.
  • This dessert is best served the same day but crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For easier handling, use a silicone spatula when folding ingredients into whipped cream to preserve airiness.
