Smoked Cream Cheese

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Block (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

  • 1-2 tbsp BBQ rub

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F using Apple or Pecan wood.

  2. Place the block of cream cheese on a small sheet of aluminum foil or a small disposable foil boat.

  3. Lightly score the top of the cream cheese block in a cross-hatch or diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch deep.

  4. Coat the block with a tiny drizzle of olive oil, then season generously with BBQ rub.

  5. Place the foil-backed cream cheese directly onto the smoker grate.

  6. Smoke at 225°F for 2 hours until the cheese expands slightly, the outer edges develop a beautiful golden-brown color, and the scored lines open up.

  7. Remove from the smoker and serve warm with crackers, pretzels, or a drizzle of warm pepper jelly over the top.
