Ingredients
Method
90g cream cheese block, cubed
90g good quality white chocolate 28%
juice ½ a lemon
pinch ground cinnamon
pinch sea salt
45ml fresh cream 35% fat
Cut 3 muslin cloth squares, 230mm x 230mm in size. Stack the cloths on top of each other and set aside until required.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese until softened and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as required.
Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and hot to touch.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cream cheese and continue to mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl as required.
Add the lemon juice, cinnamon and salt and mix until smooth.
Add in the cream and mix to combine.
Place the 3 muslin cloths into a ring, approximately 95mm in diameter and 30mm in height or a bowl of a similar size, so that it covers the base and sides with some overhang.
Spoon the chocolate brie into the ring, on top of the muslin cloth, and fold in the overhang to cover the top.
Place into the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
