Recipe Details

Author Meat Church
Prep Time Not specified
Cook Time 2 hours

Summary

A block of cream cheese is gently smoked until warm, spreadable, and kissed with hardwood aroma, then crusted with a savory BBQ rub and optionally finished with a sweet-heat glaze for an addictive, crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare a smoker to 225°F using hickory or pecan wood (other woods or pellets are fine).

  2. 2

    Place the cream cheese on a plank, pan, or a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent it from falling through the grate.

  3. 3

    Optionally, score the top of the cream cheese to enhance presentation and increase surface area for seasoning.

  4. 4

    Season all sides generously with Meat Church The Gospel All-Purpose BBQ Seasoning (or Holy Voodoo; subs Honey Hog, Honey Bacon, or Deez Nuts Honey Pecan).

  5. 5

    Place the seasoned cream cheese in the smoker and smoke at 225°F for 2 hours.

  6. 6

    Remove from the smoker and optionally top or glaze with Big Wick's Mesquite Smoked Jalapeno Glaze or Texas Pepper Jelly Rib Candy.

  7. 7

    Serve warm with sturdy crackers or pita chips.
