Cranberry Brie Tarts

Cranberry Brie Tarts

By: Linda Bonwill - World Class Cookin

“Brew and Brie, a Flavor Harmony”
These little phyllo tarts are where your coffee break meets cocktail hour. Each bite layers creamy brie and a jewel-toned cranberry sauce made with White Chocolate Cranberry Coffee, a twist that turns an everyday roast into a party star.

The coffee adds depth and a subtle cocoa warmth that balances the sweet-tart cranberries and buttery cheese. Nestled in crisp phyllo shells, they bake up into elegant, two-bite treats that disappear faster than you can pour another cup.

Serve them warm on a wooden board or elegant tray, sprinkled with powdered sugar and finished with fresh herbs or scallions for a pop of color. Whether it’s brunch, a tasting party, or an evening gathering, these tarts turn your favorite brew into something beautifully unexpected.

This is a Door County Coffee Fan recipe. It was not made in the kitchens of the Door County Coffee Café.

Tart Ingredients

Featured ingredient: White Chocolate Cranberry 8 oz. Bag Ground

  • 1 package Phyllo dough (pre-made)
  • 8ozs brie cheese, rind trimmed off
  • 1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce (see recipe below)
  • Garnishes: Scallions, fresh herbs
  • 2 1/2 - 3 inch round cookie cutter
  • 1 count (non-stick) tart baking pan

Instructions for Tarts

  1. Unfold Phyllo dough. Cut a circle to fit inside the holes (also called wells, cavities) of the tart pan.
    Note: Start with one circle and mold inside one of the tart holes. You might need to adjust the size of your circles depending on the size of the tart holes. Leave a pocket inside each hole to fit the brie cheese.
  2. Cut or scoop brie cheese and place inside each hole, approximately 1/2 way.
  3. Top each tart with 1/2 tsp of cranberry sauce.
  4. Place the tarts in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the dough is nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Top with garnishes.
