Kahlua-Pecan-Brown Sugar Baked Brie
Ingredients
- 1 16 – 19-ounce whole wheel of Brie
- 1 cup Kahlua
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pecans, chopped, leave some whole for aesthetics
- Crackers, of choice
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Start by carefully slicing the rind off the top of the Brie wheel, but do not remove completely.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- When the Brie is done baking, the top can be easily removed to expose the creamy cheese.
- While the Brie is baking, in a medium saucepan, bring Kahlua and brown sugar to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until a syrupy consistency is made.
- Throw the pecans in for 2 minutes at the end to warm them and completely cover with the sauce.
- Remove the Brie from the oven, remove top rind and pour Kahlua sauce over the Brie.
- Discard top cover of the Brie.
- Serve warm with crackers.
Notes
You could make the sauce 15 minutes before you place Brie in the oven and remove from heat, letting it cool a bit and thicken up. If it thickens too much, place it on the heat again slightly. You want a nice pourable consistency.
