Whipped Brie with Raspberry Compote

This whipped brie recipe is not only one of the easiest appetizers to whip up, but also incredibly creamy, rich and absolutely irresistible. It is topped with raspberry compote, rosemary and baked brie chips making it a dreamy and elegant appetizer.

Appetizers are my favorite. I love grazing on a lot of different foods instead of sitting down and eating one big meal. And dips – yes! Dips and chips. My total weakness.

I am always on the lookout for quick and delicious appetizers. I recently hosted a little lady’s night at my house and one of my friends brought over whipped brie.

Now I love brie hot or cold. A baked brie wrapped in puff pastry is a standard at my house during the holidays. Absolutely irresistible.

But this was the first time I had ever tried brie whipped and WOWZA! My mind and taste buds were blown away. My friends and I just couldn’t stop eating it.

Yes, that could be a bad thing as well as a good thing!

Why this recipe is crazy awesome

A few weeks later, I decided to make some whipped brie of my own. Whipped brie is basically brie cheese, minus the rind, whipped like crazy in the food processor. You spread it in a bowl, like hummus, and garnish it with jam or honey.

I learned that I could save the rind bits and bake them in the oven. Something magical happens while it melts and toasts in the oven. The cheesy rind bits turn into addictingly delicious brie crunchies.

Creamy smooth brie with little crunchy brie chips???! Now that’s crazy good!

Although I liked the honey over the brie when I first tried, I decided to go with something a little less sweet by topping mine with homemade raspberry compote. Compote has less sugar than jam and honey.

I like to save all the super sweet stuff for dessert!

Well, my whipped brie did not last long. My family quickly ate it all up. And those brie chips were inhaled, too. You can serve your dip with pita chips or baguette slices.

Serve this up and you will have some very happy guests!

Ingredients you need

• Brie: You will need at least two wheels of brie, a total of 1-pound of brie. If you have a mini food processor, you can use one wheel of brie. You can use regular or double cream brie. I used regular brie and it whipped up just fine.
• Raspberry compote: I topped my whipped brie with homemade raspberry compote. You can use store bought compote, jam or honey, depending on your preference and how sweet you want it.
• Fresh Rosemary: I added some fresh rosemary for flavor and garnish. You can also use fresh basil, thyme or mint.
• Fresh raspberries: Since I was using raspberry compote, I added some fresh raspberries as a garnish. This is optional.

Step-by-step directions

1. Using a serrated knife, carefully trim off the wax from the wheels of brie. Don’t discard them. It is easier to remove the rind when the brie is cold.

2. Place the slices of wax on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Bake at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes, until golden. If you want, top with cracked pepper. Let it cool.

3. While the wax cheese bits are baking, cut the remaining brie wheel into cubes and place them in the bowl of your food processor.

3. Whip that brie for about 5-10 minutes. As it whirls around, you will hear how the brie goes from being simply mixed then turn into a massive cheese ball and eventually into a pillowy soft whip. The blade of the food processor will warm and soften the brie while it whips air into it.

You know it is done when you spoon a little out and it is soft like frosting.

4. Spread the whipped brie in a shallow bowl. You can also spread it over a cutting board.

5. Spoon some of the raspberry compote over the brie. Garnish with raspberries and chopped rosemary. Sprinkle some toasted brie bits over it all. Serve with pita chips and the remaining brie toasties.

Expert tips and recipe FAQs

Feel free to garnish your whipped brie with any of your favorite flavors:

• Honey: Keep it simple with a drizzle of honey over the top
• Jam: I have several wonderful homemade jam recipes that would pair beautifully with the whipped brie, like blueberry preserves, strawberry preserves with balsamic vinegar or my fig jam. Go savory with some delicious bacon jam with chipotle peppers!
• Fresh fruit: Toss some fresh berries with balsamic vinegar or let them macerate with a little sugar and place them on top. You can also just use chopped season fruit like peaches during the summer or pomegranate during the fall.
• Flavored olive oil: You can go savory with some chili oil garnish with citrus infused olive oil.
• Nuts: Toast some chopped nuts like cashews or pistachios in the pan with some butter, brown sugar and salt and garnish with them.
• Leftover cranberry sauce: This is a great way to use up any leftover cranberry sauce you have from the holidays.

Whipped Brie with Raspberry Compote

Print

This whipped brie recipe is not only one of the easiest appetizers to whip up, but also incredibly creamy, rich and absolutely irresistible. It is topped with raspberry compote, rosemary and baked brie chips making it a dreamy and elegant appetizer.

Ingredients

• 2 8-oz wheels of Brie
• ¼ cup raspberry compote or jam
• 1 TBS chopped fresh rosemary
• 6-7 fresh raspberries

Instructions

1. Using a serrated knife, carefully trim off the wax from the wheels of brie. Don’t discard them. It is easier to remove the rind when the brie is cold.
2. Place the slices of wax on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Bake at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes, until golden. If you want, top with cracked pepper. Let it cool.
3. While the wax cheese bits are baking, cut the remaining brie wheel into cubes and place them in the bowl of your food processor.
Whip that brie for about 5-10 minutes. As it whirls around, you will hear how the brie goes from being simply mixed then turn into a massive cheese ball and eventually into a pillowy soft whip. The blade of the food processor will warm and soften the brie while it whips air into it. You know it is done when you spoon a little out and it is soft like frosting.
Spread the whipped brie in a shallow bowl. You can also spread it over a cutting board.
Spoon some of the raspberry compote over the brie. Garnish with raspberries and chopped rosemary. Sprinkle some toasted brie bits over it all.
Serve with baguette slices or pita chips and the remaining brie toasties.

Notes

Instead of rosemary, you can substitute with fresh basil, mint or thyme.

For more sweetness, you can also use honey or jam instead of compote.

Whipped brie has the best texture right after you whip it up. You can refrigerate the brie, minus the toppings for 1-3 days prior to serving. Be sure to let the brie sit on the countertop at room temperature for about 30 minutes first. Use a rubber spatula with stir and whip the brie up again, then garnish and serve.
