Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup strawberry jam
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• ½ cup cranberry juice
• 1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese, rind removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine cranberries, cranberry juice, and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced almost by half, approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cranberry reduction from heat and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Once cranberry reduction has cooled, pour it into a food processor along with the strawberry jam and pulse until the mixture is roughly pureed.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Unroll puff pastry and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Slice Brie cheese into lengthwise pieces and layer on the puff pastry approximately 1/2 inch from the edges. Spoon cranberry reduction over cheese, followed by white chocolate and walnuts. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar on top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
