Tips for this Recipe

• Should I take the rind off before baking brie? Most recipes advise not removing the top in order to keep the brie wheel stable, however, I prefer to slice off the top because we are pouring the caramel all over it, anyway. If you don't want to do this, I recommend making diagonal cuts in the top of the wheel instead.
• Can I use camembert in this recipe instead of brie? You can certainly use camembert cheese just note that the flavor will be a bit different. Both camembert and brie have a somewhat earthy taste but camembert is more nutty.
• Wondering how to keep baked brie warm? I like to make this dish just before hosting because it is truly best fresh out of the oven. But if you need to make it a bit ahead, cover with foil and keep it near your warm oven or stovetop. I don't recommend making it too far ahead because the praline sauce will start to separate and the dish will solidify as it gets cold. If you need to transport your praline brie dip, use an insulated carrier.

Praline dip is one of my favorite indulgent appetizer ideas and I hope you'll indulge very soon. And sharing is caring, so be sure to pin this recipe and follow me over on Pinterest. Thanks for reading!
