❓ FAQs

Q1: Can I make the cinnamon chips ahead of time?
Yes! Bake them a day ahead and store in an airtight container at room temperature. Add toppings just before serving.

Q2: Can I use store-bought chips?
Absolutely. Cinnamon pita chips or churro chips work great for convenience.

Q3: Can I make it no-bake?
Yes—skip baking by using pre-made cinnamon sugar chips or even graham crackers/waffle cones broken into pieces.

Q4: Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them well first to avoid excess liquid. You may want to cook them down slightly into a sauce.

Q5: How do I prevent soggy nachos?
Assemble just before serving. Keep cheesecake filling and strawberries separate until it’s time to serve.

Q6: Can I swap the fruit?
Yes! Blueberries, raspberries, peaches, or a mixed berry blend all work beautifully.

Q7: How long can leftovers last?
Chips will get soggy quickly once topped. Store components separately—cheesecake cream up to 3 days in the fridge, strawberry topping 2 days.

Would you like me to also give you a quick no-bake shortcut version (using graham crackers instead of tortilla chips)?
