This sweet snack is so easy to make and is such a beautiful presentation. Even better, you only need four ingredients!

With a small knife gently cut away the papery rind on the top and bottom of the brie.

I leave the rind on the sides as it is edible and helps it keep it’s shape.

Cut the brie round into small wedges, around 16-18 pieces.

Arrange on a plate in a circular pattern. 

Drizzle honey all over the brie.

I like to use sliced strawberries and blackberries for this recipe

but any berries or sliced fruit like apples or pears would be delicious!

Now arrange the fruit on top.

I like to pile the strawberry slices in the middle and then add the blackberries in a circle around them.

Serve and enjoy!
