How To Remove the Brie Rind
The brie skin must be removed before making this whipped brie spread! I've heard some people claim that using a pie slice-shaped brie cheese (I'm not sure what that's called) instead of a wheel of brie makes this step easier.
But I use wheels of brie, and I think it's a really easy process. Here are all of my recommendations:
Of all the tips, the first one is the most crucial! Before you want to remove the rind, I suggest putting your cheese in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. Perhaps even an hour in advance. This will make it much easier to remove the peel and solidify the cheese. Brie is a very soft cheese, so attempting to peel it without freezing would result in a sticky mess.
Using a sharp knife is my next piece of advice! Easy, but crucial.
The real removal is about to begin! Start by cutting the rind from both of the flat sides of the round. To avoid wasting any of that creamy, heavenly brie, you may be extremely careful and attempt to get as close to the rind as you can. However, I also like to scrape off the skin with a small amount of cheese! Although a little wasteful, it is far more effective.
Finally, lay the brie wheel on the cutting board, flat side down. Slice down in short lengths all around the circle to remove the rind from the wheel's edge. The circle will take on the shape of a decagon or a hexagon. Cut the brie into pieces after it is bare. You're prepared to be whipped now!
Want to avoid throwing away the remaining rind? No issue! There are some inventive ways to make excellent use of it.
How to Whip Brie Cheese
Whipping brie looks so simple, and it is! However, there are a few things you should be aware of to get the best brie dip available. Here is all the information you require:
Prior to whipping, let the brie cheese come to room temperature. This is somewhat at odds with my previous rind removal advice because I suggest freezing your brie for this procedure. However, it's not an issue! Just peel and cut the brie, then leave to come to room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
After that, I use a food processor to whip my brie, and it works perfectly. That's also my specialty, and that's what the following advice is for! But you may also use a stand mixer to whisk the soft cheese in the bowl. My next option would be this! Both a hand mixer and an electric mixer are excellent options.
Put the chunks of brie in the food processor. Blend for a couple minutes on high. Before it gradually evens out and begins to resemble a dip, the cheese will probably form a big clump. Now reduce the speed of the food processor to low and process until the brie is creamy, smooth, and soft.
Additionally, I advise scraping down the bowl's sides several times while blending. This will certain that all of the cheese is mixed in. Finally, be patient! You will finish up with a beautiful whipped cheese, but the procedure will likely take a few minutes.
How to Top Whipped Cheese
What makes my brie cheese recipe unique, in my opinion, is the delectable garlic butter herbs and honey topping. The blend of rich, herbaceous, savory, and sweet sensations is genuinely transformative! You will understand exactly what I mean after just one bite, I assure you.
Additionally, making this delicious topping will up your appetizer game forever and only take around five minutes.
The first step is to carefully chop the fresh herbs and garlic. Fresh garlic is usually the best, but if you really want to, you might use canned minced garlic in its place. You can use whatever herbs you like. I use parsley, rosemary, and thyme together. This trio is beautiful!
Then, on the burner, sauté the herbs and garlic in a little butter. Cook on low heat for only one to two minutes, or until tender, aromatic, and beginning to turn a light shade of brown. Then take it off the heat before it can burn.
Transfer the smooth brie cheese to a serving basin or onto a platter. I prefer to use a plate since it gives the toppings greater surface area!
To the brie cheese spread, add the rich, buttery sautéed garlic and herbs. Make sure that delicious flavor permeates every inch of the cheese! Finally, drizzle a large amount of honey over the meal to finish it off.
Recipe Variations
Even though I adore my version of the whipped brie appetizer with garlic, herbs, and honey, there are a ton of other topping options. Here are some suggestions to get your own creation off the ground:
- For a little spiciness, try using hot honey or chili oil!
- Jam: Traditional brie pairings include fig or apricot jam, but any of your preferred jams would work well.
- Various fresh herbs
- Shallots or onions caramelized
- Crushed nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, almonds, or pistachios!
- Pesto
- Fruit or vegetables that have been roasted
Alright, but would you really commit to at least try my precise version before attempting all these entertaining and unique variations? You won't be sorry!
Serving Suggestions
The epitome of an appetizer is whipped brie with honey! I promise that cheese lovers will bring it to every event they go to. or preparing a batch for oneself and enjoying it while binge-watching Netflix on the couch! Both are worthy choices.
How To Serve
After talking about how to make the perfect cheese appetizer, it's time to talk about how to serve it. My favorites are as follows:
- Bread: Garlic bread, freshly baked bread, and slices of toasted baguette (I season my slices with salt and olive oil and bake them at 450 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes).
- Fresh vegetables: Snap peas, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and other traditional crudités.
- Pretzels or crackers!
- Fresh Fruit: I believe pears or apples would make a delectable, crisp, and sweet serving dish for brie dip.
When To Serve
- Holiday Appetizer: Brie just makes me think of the holidays! It's the ideal way to begin your Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving feast.
- Dinner gatherings: Imagine this buffet at a dinner party. Rich Chocolate Tahini Brownies for dessert, Creamy Sundried Tomato (Marry Me) Chicken Pasta for the main course, and Brie Dip as an appetizer. Have you started drooling?
Frequently Asked Questions
Double cream or triple cream brie can be used!
Their percentages of fat vary. Triple cream has more than 75% milk fat, whereas double cream has 60–75%. This makes triple cream brie much richer and softer than double cream! This implies that using it in this recipe will result in incredibly creamy whipped cheese.
But both will function perfectly! Even with double cream brie, the spread is incredibly creamy.
Yes! Camembert is the best cheese to substitute for brie. The pair can be used interchangeably!
Despite not being as soft as brie, camembert is still a creamy cheese that works well in this situation.
The brie might easily be substituted with ricotta, goat cheese, or feta. However, the dips that would ensue would be quite different!
Indeed! Cover a small baking dish with aluminum foil, add the blended brie, and bake at 350 degrees F until it melts.
Take it out of the oven and sprinkle the herbs and garlic on top. Next, sprinkle with honey! YUM.
I would advise against making this recipe too long in advance! Fresh is just the most tasty. After cooling in the refrigerator, the whipped cheese somewhat loses its creaminess and lightness.
If necessary, you could make it one to two hours ahead of time, maybe just before your visitors come, and keep it in the refrigerator. Then, take it out of the refrigerator ten to fifteen minutes before serving to allow it to come back to room temperature. You may sauté your herb topping and garlic during that time to make it incredibly tasty and fresh!
You can, but the next time you grab for it, it won't taste as delicious! Before eating, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes in an airtight jar.

Recipe
Whipped Brie Cheese Spread with Honey
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz 225g Brie cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey plus more for drizzling
- Crackers or toasted bread for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- Sauté the garlic – In a very small pan on very low heat, melt your butter and add your garlic, thyme, rosemary and parsley. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden, then cool for a moment.
- Whip the Brie – Remove the rind from the Brie and cut into small chunks and place it in the food processor. Blend until the cheese is light, smooth and fluffy.
- Top the Brie with the Garlic Mixture — Spoon the whipped Brie into a serving dish and spread the warm buttery sautéed garlic and herbs all over the surface. I recommend letting it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
- Drizzle with Honey – Next, drizzle more honey onto the Brie piece, allowing it to seep into the garlic and herbs (this gives a nice balance of sweet and savory in the finished product).
- Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve with crackers or toasted bread for the coveted creamy, flavorful bite.
NOTES
- Use Room Temperature Brie – Allow the Brie to come to room temperature before whipping for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Don’t Burn the Garlic — Sauté the garlic very gently so it doesn’t burn, which would give it a bitter flavor.
- Serve Fresh for Best Texture – Although they can be stored, whipped Brie is the creamiest and fluffiest served straight from the bowl.
