A sophisticated, airy appetizer made from whipping Brie and cream cheese into a mousse-like texture, topped with warm honey, rosemary, and pistachios. Perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale

One 13.2-ounce wheel of traditional Brie cheese, rind removed

Four ounces (113 grams or half of one cup) of cream cheese, full fat, softened

Two tablespoons heavy cream

Half of one teaspoon fine sea salt

One quarter teaspoon freshly cracked white pepper

Two tablespoons unsalted butter

One third cup raw honey

One half teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely minced

One quarter cup pistachios, roughly chopped

A pinch of flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

1. Remove the rind from the Brie wheel and cut the softened cheese and cream cheese into cubes.

2. Place both cheeses, the heavy cream, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.

3. Process the mixture until the ingredients are fully combined into a thick paste, scraping down the sides as necessary.

4. Continue to process for three to five minutes, or until the mixture becomes visibly light and airy, resembling a smooth, spreadable mousse.

5. Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then stir in the honey and minced rosemary.

6. Transfer the final mixture to a small serving bowl, drizzle with the warm honey-butter, and scatter the pistachios and flaky salt over the top.

7. Allow the mixture to set for a few moments before serving with toasted bread or crackers.

Notes

Ensure the Brie and cream cheese are at room temperature for a smooth texture.

For best flavor, use fresh rosemary and raw honey.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
