Pairing Suggestions
To complement your Cranberry Brie S'mores, consider serving them with a glass of dessert wine or a cup of hot cocoa. The warmth of the drink will enhance the gooey texture of the s'mores, creating a comforting pairing that’s perfect for chilly nights. For a festive touch, try a spiced apple cider or a mulled wine that adds a hint of warmth and spice.
If you're looking for a savory balance, a charcuterie board with assorted cheeses, meats, and fruits can provide a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the s'mores. The variety of flavors and textures will elevate your dessert experience, making it a truly memorable occasion.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Cranberry Brie S'mores are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare some components ahead of time. The cranberry sauce can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Additionally, you can slice the Brie cheese and keep it in an airtight container until you're ready to assemble your s'mores. This way, you can quickly put everything together when your guests arrive.
If you do have leftovers, store the assembled s'mores in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day. However, keep in mind that the texture may change as the marshmallows and graham crackers can become a bit soggy. Reheating them in a microwave for a few seconds can help restore some of their original gooeyness before serving again.
