   • Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently, for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Brie:

   • Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the soft white rind from the top of the brie cheese.

3. Assemble the Dish:

   • Place the brie on a microwave-safe serving dish and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until slightly softened (avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from becoming runny).
   • Pour the chilled raspberry salsa over the top of the brie, allowing it to cascade down the sides, ensuring even coverage.
   • Sprinkle the chopped honey roasted almonds over the salsa-adorned brie.

Tips:

• For added convenience, prepare the raspberry salsa a day in advance to allow the flavors to fully develop.
• Ensure the brie cheese is only slightly softened, as overheating may cause it to lose its shape.
• Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of dried ancho chile powder to suit your taste preferences.
• Experiment with different varieties of nuts for topping, such as pecans or walnuts, for a unique flavor profile.
