Whipped Brie is a luscious, creamy cheese spread made by blending cold Brie until fluffy, then topped with sweet cranberry sauce, honey, crunchy pistachios, and fragrant rosemary. It’s perfect for serving with toasted baguette slices as an elegant appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, cold
Toppings
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (homemade or canned whole berry)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped roasted and salted pistachios
- Rosemary sprigs for garnish
For Serving
- Toasted baguette slices
Instructions
- Trim and cube the Brie: While the Brie is cold, carefully trim away and discard the rind. Cut the Brie into small cubes to prepare for blending. Then, let the cubes come to room temperature for about 1 hour to soften slightly.
- Blend the Brie: Place the Brie cubes into a food processor and blend continuously until the cheese is supremely creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as needed to ensure even blending.
- Assemble the dish: Spread the whipped Brie onto a serving plate evenly. Spoon a generous scoop of cranberry sauce in the center of the spread, then drizzle honey over the top for sweetness.
- Add toppings and garnish: Scatter the chopped roasted and salted pistachios over the Brie to add texture and nuttiness. Garnish with a few rosemary sprigs to add a fresh, aromatic touch.
- Serve: Present the whipped Brie with toasted baguette slices alongside for dipping and spreading. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover whipped Brie in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Before serving again, allow it to come to room temperature for at least 1 hour to regain some of its fluffiness.
- The Brie may lose some of its airy texture after refrigeration but remains delicious.
- You can swap cranberry sauce with your favorite jam for a different flavor twist.
- Ensure the Brie is properly softened at room temperature before blending for the best creamy consistency.
