What Is Whipped Brie?
Whipped Brie is exactly what it sounds like — a luscious, airy version of the classic Brie cheese, beaten until smooth and creamy. The process usually involves removing the rind, cutting the cheese into chunks, and then whipping it in a food processor until it reaches a fluffy, mousse-like consistency.
This transformation elevates Brie from a basic cheese wedge into a spreadable delight that can be scooped, dipped, or slathered onto anything from warm toast to crunchy veggies.
How to Make Whipped Brie
Ingredients
Process
Making Whipped Brie is surprisingly simple. All you need is a block or round of Brie cheese (preferably double- or triple-cream for the best texture) and a food processor. Here’s how to do it:
- Let the Brie sit at room temperature for about 30–45 minutes.
- Carefully cut off the rind. Some people like to leave a bit for added flavor, but removing most of it helps the cheese blend smoothly.
- Chop the cheese into chunks and place them in a food processor.
- Blend for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the cheese is creamy and whipped.
You can also add a splash of cream or honey for extra smoothness or sweetness.
Why Whipped Brie is the BEST
When you whip the brie in a food processor you’re aerating it, leaving you with the silkiest and fluffiest brie ever! The creamy texture can’t be beat! Whipping it also turns it into a delightfully dippable treat.

Make Ahead Instructions
Although we think this dish is best served fresh you can certainly make it ahead of time.
Whip brie until light, fluffy and smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
When ready to use, set container of brie on the counter, at room temp, for 30 minutes. Stir thoroughly to soften the cheese back up. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with honey, sea salt flakes and fennel flowers (or other herbs of choice) if using.
