Upgrade Your Camembert Bread Bowl With a Fruity Twist

We’ve all drooled a little bit over the camembert bread bowl doing its rounds on Facebook. Pair this with one friend facing a strong fondue withdrawal and the other a new vegetarian who still dreams of rotisserie chicken, we found this was our calling. However, when telling your friends and family you’ve just devoured an entire camembert in two minutes flat, you’re faced with distain.

#SpoonTip: Maybe try and avoid doing this as personal experience tells you’re highly likely to feel sick.

So, we clearly needed a variation to make nutritionists happy and if throwing some fruit into oozy, gooey, melted cheese counts then we’re there (a girl can dream, right?). This recipe can double as a romantic meal for 2, but should probably (definitely) be an appetizer for 4.
