OK...this sounds like an episode of my favorite cooking show, chopped!
So you can adapt my favorite recipe for dessert with these ingredients.....it might be a little sweet with your ingredients, but I am all about sugar!
You will also need butter and brown sugar (for 1 cookie sheets worth you will need 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Take a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. DO NOT use wax paper. Lay out all the tortilla chips on the tray, they can overlap.
Cook off the bacon until it is very crispy but not burned, drain well and set aside.
Cut up the papaya into tiny bite size pieces and set aside.
In a sauce pan melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Use a medium heat and stir constantly until boiling; boil for about 3 minutes. Watch this very carefully as it can burn in a heartbeat and you will have to start over.
Pour this over the tortillas being careful to cover all of them.
Melt the chocolate covered cherries and Fundelina in a saucepan. Keep stirring so it does not burn. When it is runny and lumpy from the cherries pour it over the chips and butter sugar mix.
Pop it into the oven and immediately drop the temp to 350--this is critical to drop the temp!!!
Bake for 10 minutes and DROP THE TEMP AGAIN to 325 for 5 more minutes--these temp drops are REALLY IMPORTANT you don't want this mix to start smoking...if it does, drop the temp down sooner in the process.
When you pull this out of the oven, set it on a heat resistant pad and sprinkle the papaya and bacon over it. Let them settle in. Break apart and enjoy!! Refrigerator to keep. Keeps about 3 days in the fridge...or 10 minutes in my house!
I know I left out the kimci--sorry...but that is not something I would use...in any recipe...maybe have it with your meal and this creation for dessert! That is not a food in my wheelhouse...so I guess I technically I would be chopped from the TV show :)
My recipe is below (I didn't invent it, just make it every year! I adapt it different every year...some years I use the matzoh, some crackers, some tortilla chips, some potato chips...any starchy snack works! I have also used dried cherries, craisens, bacon, peppermint sticks crushed, and a variety of other toppings! YUM!!
Thank you very much. Sound good. I will see what I can do. I have one for Bread pudding too.
If I can find time in the next few weeks, I want to try to make it. The original recipe was always so popular when I took it to work. The girls would eat it up FAST!!
Thank you I made the Nashos and they loved them.
