Tips & Notes

  • This recipe uses a young brie wheel and that part is essential. A younger brie will typically be more firm. It is also important to use a whole uncut brie wheel. Local or imported bries that are cut or ripened to be served as is, would turn into liquid.
  • If needed, firm strawberries would be a good alternative to cherries.
