Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 6 ounces rainbow nonpareils For rolling and decoration
Meringue Ingredients
  • 3 large egg whites (preferably pasteurized)
  • 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 0.33 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
  • to taste Diced strawberries For serving
  • to taste Chocolate chips For serving

Method
 

Preparing the Dough
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together flour, milk, yeast, and salt until stiff.
  2. Cut the butter into four pieces and mix them in one piece at a time, beating for a full minute between each addition and an additional three minutes after the last addition. The dough should look smooth and satiny.
  3. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
Baking the Chips
  1. Preheat oven to 275 F (135 C).
  2. Sprinkle a work surface with rainbow nonpareils. Divide dough in half, roll each half out to 1/8 inch thick with nonpareils, and cut into triangles.
  3. Bake for 60 minutes or until lightly brown.
Making the Meringue
  1. For the meringue, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy, then gradually add sugar while whisking until soft peaks form, then whisk in vanilla.
Serving the Nachos
  1. Serve dessert nachos with meringue in the middle and strawberries and chocolate chips around.

Notes

Work on a cool surface to prevent the butter from getting too soft. Press the nonpareils lightly into the dough for better adhesion. Use a clean bowl for meringue to ensure the best volume.
