Equipment
- Small Saucepan
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen Puff Pastry thawed
- 0.5 cup Blackberries fresh or thawed
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 sprig Rosemary finely chopped
- 6 ounces Brie cheese rind removed and cut into small chunks
- 1 large Egg beaten
- Raw Sugar or extra chopped Rosemary for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare for Success: To make cutting the brie easier, pop it into the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Let your puff pastry sheet thaw on the counter while you prep.
- 2. Craft the Infused Honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, blackberries, and chopped rosemary. Heat over medium until it just begins to simmer. Gently use a muddler or wooden spoon to lightly smash the blackberries – you want them broken down enough to spread, but not a complete puree. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- 3. Assemble with Love: Unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Pour the cooled blackberry-honey mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small clean border around the edges to prevent leaks.
- 4. Add the Creamy Brie: Evenly scatter the small brie chunks across the pastry on top of the blackberry mixture.
- 5. Roll and Chill: Carefully and tightly roll the puff pastry into a log, starting from one long end. Take your time to ensure the filling stays inside. Once rolled, transfer the log to the freezer for 15-20 minutes – this makes slicing super neat!
- 6. Slice into Swirls: Remove the log from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 10-12 even ½-inch thick pinwheels. For best results, clean your knife after each cut.
- 7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with raw sugar for a sweet crunch or extra chopped rosemary for an herby touch.
- 8. Enjoy Your Treat: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving plate. Garnish with more raw sugar or rosemary if you wish, and serve warm!
Notes
These Sweetheart Berry Brie Swirls are a perfect treat for any special occasion! For easier slicing of the brie, ensure it's well chilled or partially frozen. Serve warm for the best experience.
