Ingredients
  

1 package of round nacho chips or graham cracker crisps

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose vanilla or plain based on preference)

1 cup assorted fresh fruits, sliced (recommendations: strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana, and mango)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (toasted for enhanced flavor, if desired)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts work well)

Honey or chocolate syrup, for drizzling (for added sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth consistency. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and creamy.

    Incorporate the Greek Yogurt: Carefully fold the Greek yogurt into the cream cheese mixture until blended. This additional ingredient introduces a creamy texture and a hint of tang, making the nachos extra delightful.

      Arrange the Base: On a large serving platter or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out an even layer of nacho chips or graham cracker crisps.

        Spread the Creamy Topping: Using a spatula, generously spread the cream cheese and yogurt mixture over the chips. Aim to cover as much of the chips as possible, ensuring each bite is filled with flavor!

          Add the Fresh Fruits: Artfully layer the sliced fresh fruits over the creamy topping. You can create a colorful pattern or group similar fruits together for a variety of tastes in each mouthful.

            Top It Off: Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut and chopped nuts over the fruit layer. These toppings will provide a delightful crunch and a pleasing contrast to the soft elements below.

              Drizzle & Garnish: Complete your dish by drizzling honey or chocolate syrup uniformly across the nachos, adding a hint of sweetness. Finish with fresh mint leaves delicately placed on top for a vibrant visual appeal and refreshing flavor.

                Serve & Enjoy: You can either cut into wedges for easy picking or leave as is. Encourage your guests to grab a nacho and savor the explosion of flavors from the fresh toppings!
