Ingredients

225 g Butter (salted is best)
250 g Brie (rind removed)

Optional Toppings

30 g Honey (runny honey is best)
50 g Pecans (roughly chopped)

Instructions

Take the butter out of the fridge around 10 minutes before you want to make this recipe.
While the butter is softening, take a sharp knife and cut the rind off the Brie (it doesn't matter whether you use a larger wheel or 2 smaller wheels, as long as it weighs 250g).
Once the butter has softened a little, chop the butter and Brie into chunks and add it all to your food processor (don't try this in a stand mixer as it's not strong enough to whip the Brie).
Whip the butter and Brie until it's pale and creamy and looks like butter. This will take around 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how powerful your food processor is.
Scrape the whipped brie butter into a bowl and drizzle in runny honey and chopped pecans.
Serve with sourdough crostini or sourdough French bread.

Notes

Other Topping Ideas for Whipped Brie Butter:

Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs. Fresh thyme, dill, parsley and chives all work really well. A little sprinkle of salt crystals is welcome here too!

Warm some fig jam just a little and spoon onto the top of this Brie cheese recipe. Add some toasted walnuts or chopped pecans and a sprinkling of black pepper.

For a spicy version, drizzle your brie butter in hot honey and chopped jalapeños. A drizzle of chili olive oil is nice too!

A beautiful variation to this recipe is using a wild flower honey to drizzle over the top and then sprinkling with some crushed lavender flowers and a little salt. So special!
