Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Brie cheese
- 85 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Fresh cranberries
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 piece Jalapeño (seeded and finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 package Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Remove the rind of the Brie cheese using a sharp knife. Cut the cheese into small chunks to make blending easier.
In a food processor or blender, combine the Brie and cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, and honey. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the cranberry mixture from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the finely diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Spread the whipped Brie onto a serving platter or shallow bowl, creating a slight well in the center.
Spoon the cranberry salsa over the whipped Brie, letting some of the salsa cascade down the sides for a decorative effect.
Serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping. Enjoy this creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy appetizer!
