Ingredients:

Baked Blackberry Brie:
1 sheet puff pastry
1 whole wheel of brie cheese
1 cup fresh blackberries
2 tsp fresh thyme
1 tsp lemon zest
3 tsp honey
1 egg

Belfast Bellini:
12 oz fresh blackberries
1 lemon, juiced
2 oz chambord liqueur
1 bottle prosecco, chilled

Garnish:
Fresh Blackberries
Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions:

Baked Blackberry Brie:
Preheat oven 400F/200C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Place the brie wheel on top of the prepared tray, score the cheese with a sharp knife.

In a bowl add blackberries and slightly mash with a fork. Place mashed blackberries, lemon zest, thyme, and honey on top of the brie.

In a small bowl make an egg wash, by whisking a egg with 1 Tbsp water.

On a lightly floured work top roll out the puff pastry into a 12X12-inch square. Cut three thin strips of puff pastry from the square and braid them. Place the puff pastry over the prepared brie, tucking the ends underneath. Place the braid pastry on top and coat all the pastry with the egg wash. Bake, 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

*Brie can be wrapped and kept in the refrigerator, up to a day before baking.

Belfast Bellini:
In a blender, blend blackberries and lemon juice together. Push mixture through a strainer, until smooth. Add 1 Tbsp of mixture per glass plus ¼ oz of peach schnapps. Top with chilled prosecco, stir and garnish.
