Description

This Light & Airy Whipped Brie Cheese Spread transforms rich triple cream brie into a smooth, creamy delight perfect for entertaining. Whipped to perfection, this versatile spread can be enjoyed savory with olives and thyme or sweetened with honey or jam, served alongside crackers, chips, baguette slices, or fresh veggies.


Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 pound triple cream brie cheese, cold

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped olives, to taste
  • Fresh thyme leaves, to taste
  • Honey or jam of choice, for a sweet variation

Serving Suggestions

  • Crackers
  • Chips
  • Baguette slices
  • Raw vegetables

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brie: Remove the brie cheese from the fridge and use a sharp knife to carefully cut off the rind without removing too much of the soft cheese underneath.
  2. Cut and Soften: Cut the rindless brie into small cubes and place them in a food processor. Let the brie come to room temperature to ensure easier blending.
  3. Whip the Cheese: Blend the brie cubes on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, stopping every minute to scrape down the sides to incorporate all the cheese evenly. Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer for this step.
  4. Serve: Transfer the whipped brie into a serving bowl. Optionally, top with chopped olives and fresh thyme for a savory touch or drizzle with honey or your favorite jam for a sweet twist.
  5. Accompaniments: Serve with crackers, chips, slices of baguette, or fresh vegetables for an elegant appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Removing the rind carefully ensures a smooth texture without bitterness.
  • Allowing the brie to soften at room temperature is essential to achieve a light, airy consistency.
  • Use a food processor or electric mixer for best results; hand mixing will not achieve the same smoothness.
  • Toppings are optional and can be customized for sweet or savory preferences.
  • Best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; bring back to room temperature before serving.
