On the menu, a Camembert chantilly with pear slices, chopped walnuts, honey and a little parsley. The preparation of this recipe is really very simple: you simply blend chunks of Camembert with a bit of crème fraîche (or water if you don’t have cream) until you obtain a smooth and creamy texture. Do not hesitate to adjust the amount of liquid according to the desired consistency.
All that remains is to plate it. Take your prettiest plate or a bowl and spread the chantilly. Then just lay on thin slices of pear, chopped walnuts, drizzle with a good stream of honey and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve this dip for the aperitif with toasted bread, it’s a real delight!

Our tips for varying the pleasures
If you’ve already convinced the taste buds of the whole family and those of your friends with this version, you can obviously vary this very indulgent recipe a little by replacing the pear with another fruit, such as green apple, which will pair very well with these flavors. You can season your Camembert chantilly with a pinch of Espelette pepper, then add cubes of grilled chorizo for a hotter version! Fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, spices… It’s possible to embellish the Camembert chantilly base with whatever you like after all!
And why not try with another cheese? We’re thinking Brie, for example—it’s also simple and quick to prepare for a convivial and indulgent aperitif.
