1. In a medium bowl, mix pecans and brown sugar; set aside.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Lightly dust flat working surface with flour. Place two sheets of puff pastry on the floured surface, one on top of the other. Using a rolling pin, adhere the two pieces of puff pastry together.
3. Continue rolling until very thin, about 1/8-inch thickness. Using a sharp knife, cut pastry into a 13-inch round circle. Place the Brie in the center of the pastry. Top Brie with pecan mixture, and spread up to 1/2" of the edge.
4. Remove any sugar or nuts from the pastry as they may cause holes to form during baking. Fold pastry up and over Brie to enclose. The center of the Brie will not be completely covered with pastry.
5. Place on prepared baking sheet. Lightly dust work surface with flour. Repeat rolling and cutting process with remaining two sheets of puff pastry. Drape pastry over top of the Brie, tucking the edges under to enclose. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and cream. Brush the wrapped Brie evenly with the egg wash. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake Brie until golden brown and puffed, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until dark golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes more.
