Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese one block
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Place the cold cream cheese on a small baking sheet lined with foil. Score the cheese with a wet knife to make a cross-hatch pattern. If the knife begins to stick, dip it in water.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the cheese.
- Transfer the cheese to your smoker and cook for around 2 hours until golden brown and warmed through. When warmed through, the cheese will begin to separate where it was scored.
- Carefully remove the cheese and transfer it to a cutting board or plate. Serve warm, or refrigerate it in an airtight container for later.
Notes
Store the smoked cream cheese in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Reheat in a 225°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until warmed through.
