Charcuterie Brie Dip with Fig Jam, Prosciutto, Salami, and Nuts Recipe

Introduction

This Charcuterie Dip puts a fun, flavorful twist on a classic cheese platter by combining creamy whipped brie with savory and sweet toppings. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing at any gathering or cozy night in.

Ingredients

• 3 (8 ounce) wheels Triple Crème Brie, cold
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fig jam
• 2 slices prosciutto, torn into pieces
• 4 small salami slices, diced
• 2 tablespoons sliced kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons sliced cornichons
• 2 tablespoons diced dried apricots
• 2 tablespoons chopped candied pecans
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 rosemary sprigs, for garnishing
• Crackers or crostini, for dipping

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove one wheel of brie from the refrigerator at a time and use a cheese slicer or sharp knife to carefully cut off as much of the rind as possible.
2. Step 2: Cut the remaining brie wheels into chunks and let them sit at room temperature until completely softened, about 30 minutes.
3. Step 3: Add the softened brie chunks to a food processor and blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides. This should take 2-4 minutes depending on your processor’s power.
4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and blend again until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, about 1 minute. This creates roughly 2 cups of whipped brie.
5. Step 5: Spread the whipped brie evenly onto a serving plate.
6. Step 6: Warm the fig jam in a small microwave-safe bowl for 10 seconds, or until just melted enough to drizzle. Drizzle and gently swirl it over the brie.
7. Step 7: Evenly sprinkle the prosciutto, salami, kalamata olives, cornichons, dried apricots, and candied pecans on top of the fig jam layer.
8. Step 8: Drizzle honey over the entire dip, then sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary.
9. Step 9: Garnish the center of the dish with rosemary sprigs for a fresh, aromatic touch.
10. Step 10: Serve immediately with crackers or crostini and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For an even creamier texture, make sure the brie is fully softened before blending.
• Try swapping fig jam with apricot preserves or honey mustard for a different flavor profile.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a subtle kick.
• Use toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts if pecans aren’t available.
• Serve alongside fresh fruit such as grapes or apple slices for a refreshing contrast.

Storage

Store any leftover dip covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The topping ingredients may soften over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. To serve again, let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes and give it a gentle stir before serving. Avoid freezing to maintain the creamy texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Brie?

Triple Crème Brie works best for its creamy texture and mild flavor, but you can experiment with other soft cheeses like Camembert or cream cheese for a similar effect.

Is it possible to make this dip ahead of time?

You can prepare the whipped brie base a few hours in advance and refrigerate it, but add the toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and flavorful.

Instructions

1. Remove Brie Rind – Take one wheel of brie out of the refrigerator at a time and carefully slice off as much of the rind as possible using a cheese slicer or sharp knife.
2. Soften the Brie – Cut the rind-removed brie wheel into chunks and let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes until completely softened, which makes it easier to whip.
3. Blend the Brie – Place the softened brie chunks into a food processor and blend until well combined, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. This should take 2-4 minutes depending on your processor’s power.
4. Add Cream for Fluffiness – Pour in the heavy cream and continue blending for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes super creamy and fluffy, yielding approximately 2 cups of whipped brie.
5. Spread Brie on Plate – Transfer the whipped brie onto a serving plate evenly to create a base layer for the dip.
6. Warm and Drizzle Fig Jam – Heat the fig jam in a small microwave-safe bowl for 10 seconds until just melty enough to drizzle, then drizzle and swirl it over the whipped brie.
7. Add Toppings – Sprinkle torn prosciutto, diced salami, kalamata olives, sliced cornichons, diced dried apricots, and chopped candied pecans evenly over the fig jam layer.
8. Honey and Rosemary – Drizzle honey evenly over the entire dip and sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary to add herbaceous notes.
9. Garnish – Place a few fresh rosemary sprigs in the center of the dip for an attractive garnish.
10. Serve – Offer crackers or crostini alongside the dip for dipping and enjoying immediately.

Notes

• Removing the rind helps achieve a smooth, whipped texture but you can leave some rind if preferred for slight texture.
• Room temperature brie blends easier and whips to a fluffier consistency than cold cheese.
• Adjust the amount of honey and fig jam to taste for sweetness balance.
• This dip is best served fresh but can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
• Use a food processor or a powerful blender to ensure smooth, creamy brie.
