German Camembert Pepper Spread

7. 10. 2025

This Camembert-type cheese sandwich spread recipe is not for the faint of heart. It is made from a mixture of matured soft cheeses, sweet or hot peppers, and a little onion thrown into the mix.

This spread usually has a light orange color and a sharp taste.

What will we need

• 7 ounces camembert cheese, ripe
• 2 tablespoons butter, soft
• 1/4 cup cream cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground caraway
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, more to taste
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons wheat beer

Method

• Cut the camembert and the butter into small pieces. Add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl and mince them with a fork or a pastry cutter (works well).
• Mix well with the cream cheese, paprika, ground caraway, salt, and pepper. Add the finely chopped onion and mix again.
• Finally, add the wheat beer. We usually add two tablespoons, but depending on the consistency of your cheese spread, you might want to add slightly more or less. Mix well.
• Cover the cheese spread and place it in the fridge for an hour to chill and allow the flavors to mingle.
