Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
1 eight-inch wheel of brie
20 pecans or walnuts (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, swirling, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling and brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush (to preventsugar crystals from forming), until dark amber. Immediately dip bottom of pan in ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
  • Place brie on a serving platter. Dip pecans into caramel using chopsticks; arrange around edge of brie. Rewarm remaining caramel if needed, and pour over top, swirling to coat and drip down sides. Let stand until hardened. Crack caramel with a knife to serve.

I would make this again, but I would use a different type of cheese.

This was a fun and easy recipe to make. I'm not a big fan of brie, but I really enjoyed this.

I had trouble getting the caramel to coat the brie evenly, but it still tasted good.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The caramel was perfectly caramelized and the brie was melted and gooey. I served it with crackers and fruit and it was a hit.

This was a huge hit at our holiday party! Everyone loved the gooey, sweet caramel and the creamy, salty brie. It was the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
