Instructions

Sweet Heat Blueberry Sauce:

  1. Combine the sugar, water and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Stir in blueberries and jalapeno pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 8-10 minutes or until thickened and berries burst. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.

Pound Cake Stacks:

  1. Spread butter over both sides of pound cake. Toast cake slices in a large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer slices to a cutting board; cut each in half diagonally.
  2. Place four cake slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each with a wedge of brie and heaping tablespoon blueberry sauce. Repeat layers twice, starting with cake.
  3. Broil stacks 3-4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is softened.
  4. Transfer stacks to serving plates. Sprinkle with walnuts. Garnish with whipped cream and mint. Serve immediately.

This triple cream, soft-ripened brie cheese is decadent and indulgent. Brie is named after the French region from which it originated. For bloomy rind cheeses like brie, the rind is often eaten. The brie flavor is rich and earthy with mushroom notes and ranges from mild to full and aromatic, depending on age.
