Whipped Brie with Herbs and Honeycomb
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 x 300 g wheels triple cream brie cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, savory etc
- 100 g piece of honeycomb
- 1 baguette sliced
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the rind off the brie cheese. Cut the wheels of brie in half and stand them on their cut side. Slice off both sides of the rind and then lay back down and trim off the edge in small pieces. Once all of the rind is removed, cut the brie into cubes.
- Place the cubed brie cheese into the bowl of a mixer. Using a paddle attachment, begin to cream the brie cheese on medium speed. After a couple of minutes scrape down the sides and paddle of the mixer. The cheese will be stiff, sticky and a bit gummy.
- Continue to whip the cheese, turning the speed up to medium high. Scrape down the sides of the bowl every couple of minutes while whipping. It can take up to 10 minutes for the brie cheese to lighten in texture. The cheese is done when the brie is soft and similar in texture to whipped butter.
- While the brie is whipping, chop the fresh herbs. When the brie is whipped, fold in the chopped herbs. Transfer the cheese to a serving bowl and garnish with more of the fresh herbs.
- Serve the whipped brie with the honeycomb and sliced baguette and enjoy!
Notes
Note: The whipped brie can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge however it will harden similar to butter. Remove from the fridge and let the cheese warm to room temperature before serving. Or you can soften the whipped brie in the microwave, but make sure to use 50% power in short bursts or the brie will melt!
