So the white bean dip was an epic fail. Thankfully, my friend, Elaine, sent me a few recipes to test out as well. Now Elaine is what I like to call talented. She actually uses recipes by people like Ina Garten. I, on the other hand, do not. So you’ll imagine my crippling fear hesitation when it came to testing out one of her favorite recipes.
But I did it.
And unlike Martha Stewart’s recipe, Elaine’s brie recipe was a success.
Because with ingredients like these, you know it’s gonna taste good.
Brie with Caramel Pecan Sauce
{printable recipe here}
Brie with Caramel Pecan Sauce
14 Oz. Brie wheel
Preheat oven to 350°. Cut the top rind off of the brie and place it in an oven-proof baking dish. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until soft.
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
Combine all ingredients in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Cover and continue to boil for 1 minute to wash sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Uncover and continue to boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Cool 2-3 minutes, then spoon around warm baked brie on serving platter. Serve with plain pita chips.
And that’s Elaine for the win!
This sauce looks so rich and delicious. I think this sauce will work well with ice-cream, too.
oh tes, good call! basically it’s a fancified praline sauce.
You got my sweet tooth kick started this morning. That looks wonderful!
You had me a “whipping cream”.
And I love that little flowered table cloth. It’s the happiest!

Being as it summer time, I thought this might be appropriate for “White trash Wednesday”. Paired with a salad, and a glass of sweet tea a perfect light supper.
holy hell, that is fantastic. thank you william!
That looks awesome! I have also made some things from Ms. Stewart…nothing has been worth writing home about so far!
What would make a good wine slection with this? I am hopeless with that stuff. It looks simply delicious and something good for late night time with the hubby!
karyn, i would probably stick with a nice chardonnay or maybe a sauvignon blanc.
