Equipment

Ingredients

8 ounce Brie cheese round , top rind removed
8 ounce Crescent Roll dough , (one tube)
¼ cup maple cream
⅓ cup chopped candied pecans
sugar frosted cranberries , optional (see notes below)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Divide crescent roll dough in half. Roll out ½ crescent dough on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Place brie cheese in the center of rolled out dough. Spread with maple cream and sprinkle with candied pecans.
Bring edges of crescent dough up sides of brie (it will not cover it entirely – it will pretty much cover the sides). Roll out remaing dough and place on top of brie round covering the pecans. Gently wrap around the cheese pressing lightly to make sure dough has adhered to itself, pressing any seams together well to prevent leaking.
Bake for 20 minutes or until crescent dough has browned.
Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes. Place brie on serving platter and surround with sugar frosted cranberries (if using) and garnish with mint leaf to set off the festive look! Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note: To frost cranberries: Place 3 cups cranberries in a mixing bowl and stir together with 2 Tablespoons corn syrup. On a cookie sheet sprinkle ¾ cup granulated sugar. Pour cranberries over top of sugar and using a spoon arrange so berries are spread out over the sugar. Gently shake cookie tray back and forth to move berries and coat them with sugar. Let sit on counter until dry
