Tools

  • Air Fryer – preferably one with an air fryer basket.
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • Camembert Cheese (A Brie Cheese or another French cheese such as Reblochon would also work in this recipe)
  • Cranberries
  • Walnuts
  • Honey or Maple Syrup
  • Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple instructions to achieve a perfect balance of crispy exterior and gooey interior in every bite. You can have this recipe together in just 15 minutes!

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  2. Remove any packaging from the wheel of Camembert, and if it’s in a wooden box, you can place the box directly in the air fryer. If not, wrap the Camembert in parchment paper. (I prefer to use parchment paper even if the cheese comes in a wooden box).
  3. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the Camembert in a crosshatch pattern.
  4. In a bowl, combine dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and honey.
  5. Place the cranberry-walnut mixture on top of the cheese allowing it to fall into the scores.
  6. Put the stuffed Camembert in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray. Air fry the Camembert at 350°F (180°C) for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
  7. Carefully remove the Camembert from the air fryer. You can serve it directly in its wooden box or transfer it to a serving plate.

Plate this creamy camembert recipe on a serving platter hot or at room temperature with torn crusty fresh bread, crackers, veggie sticks, wine such as white wine, chenin blanc, pinot noir, or even bubbly champagne. This recipe will be good the next day but for best results serve this immediately after baking.

FAQs (Ask a Dietitian!)

Can you eat the rind of Camembert cheese?

Yes! The rind of Camembert and Brie Cheeses are edible. The rind is a natural part of the cheese and develops as the cheese ages. It has a unique texture and flavor and compliments the creamy, gooey interior of the cheese.

Can you bake Camembert Cheese?

Yes! Prepare the cheese much like you would the air fryer camembert cheese. But, bake the Camembert cheese in a preheated oven to 375°F

Bake it for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
