Baked Brie with Carnival Fruit Punch Marmalade
There’s something magical that when good cheese meets good fruit especially when that fruit is our Carnival Fruit Punch preserve. Bright, tropical, and full of Caribbean joy, this marmalade-jam transforms a simple wheel of Brie into a show-stopping appetizer.
This baked Brie isn’t wrapped in puff pastry or dough. Instead, it’s served in its purest, most elegant form: warm, melty cheese with a glossy layer of Carnival Fruit Punch spooned right on top. Simple. Decadent. Perfect for entertaining.
Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering, a cozy dinner with friends, or a festive Sunday brunch, this dish brings the flavors of the islands straight to your table: no fuss, just flavor.
Why Carnival Fruit Punch Works So Well Here
Carnival Fruit Punch is one of our most vibrant preserves: a Caribbean fruit celebration made from oranges, pineapples, strawberries blended with guava, and sugar.
Its marmalade-like texture melts beautifully over warm cheese, and the tropical notes pair naturally with Brie’s buttery richness.
The result is a sweet-tangy glaze that cuts through the creaminess of the cheese and makes every bite feel like a celebration.
Baked Brie with Carnival Fruit Punch
Serves: 6–8
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 wheel of Brie (8–12 oz)
3–4 tablespoons Spanish Town Kitchen Carnival Fruit Punch preserve
A drizzle of honey (optional, if you want extra shine)
Toasted baguette slices, crackers, or apple slices for serving
Fresh herbs or edible flowers (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the Brie on a small oven-safe dish or baking crock.
In a small bowl, stir the Carnival Fruit Punch to loosen it. (If you want it ultra-glossy, warm it for 10 seconds.)
Spoon the marmalade generously over the top of the Brie, letting a little drip down the sides.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the Brie softens and becomes gooey in the center.
Serve immediately, topped with an optional drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of herbs. Pair with crackers, toasted bread, or fruit.
Make It a Pairing Moment
This dish pairs beautifully with:
Sparkling wine or Prosecco
A light, fruity rosé
Toasted nuts like pecans or almonds
And if you want to lean all the way into the Caribbean spirit, serve it alongside a fruity rum punch cocktail to echo the flavors in the preserve. It’s tropical meets cozy: a perfect holiday fusion.
A Simple Pleasure for the Season
Sometimes the best dishes are the simplest ones. This baked Brie delivers warmth, flavor, and nostalgia in every bite. With Spanish Town Kitchen’s Carnival Fruit Punch on top, it becomes a bright reminder that even in the coldest months, Caribbean flavor can bring the sunshine back.
