Foamed Brie is the perfect little Christmas treat for cheese lovers.
Foamed Brie will make a cheese lover’s knees go weak Mari Moilanen
A glass of warm mulled wine next to it and crusty crusted bread with which to scoop the fluffy cheese into your mouth.
– Heavenly. So absolutely heavenly, says the food journalist Mari Moilanen Something tasty in his blog.
Here comes the continuation of the super popular whipped feta topped with roasted tomatoes. According to Moilanen, there would now be a cheese delicacy of the same style, but more wintry, suitable for mulled wine parties.
White cottage cheese is whipped instead of feta. Brie, camembert or any other white cheese can be used for foaming.
The texture becomes supple and foamy when you add a few tablespoons of cream.

approx. 3 tablespoons of whipped cream
150 g fig jam

2. Roast the cashew nuts in a dry pan until golden brown and grate them with a knife into a coarse grater.
3. Spread fig jam on top of the whipped Brie and sprinkle crushed cashews on top. Garnish with thyme leaves. Serve with pretzels and bread. Vegetables such as carrots cut into sticks and stalks of celery and radishes are also good for dipping in foamed brie.
