Smoked Cream Cheese

Smoked cream cheese is a simple yet impressive appetizer. With its creamy texture and smoky flavor, smoked cream cheese is a delightful twist on traditional cheese spreads that everyone will love.

With just a block of cream cheese and your favorite dry rub, this recipe is incredibly simple and requires minimal prep time. You do need access to a smoker to make this dish happen, but you can also put it on low in-direct heat on your outdoor grill with a smoker box inside.

Helpful Tips

• Choose Your Dry Rub Wisely: The flavor of your dry rub will significantly impact the final taste of the smoked cream cheese. Experiment with different blends, such as BBQ rubs, spicy seasonings, or herb mixes, to find your favorite.
• Experiment with Add-Ins: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chopped herbs, minced garlic, or even a drizzle of honey before smoking. These additions can elevate the taste and make your smoked cream cheese even more delightful.
• Serve Warm or Cold: Smoked cream cheese can be enjoyed warm right after smoking or allowed to cool and served at room temperature. Both ways offer a delicious experience!
