You’ll need:
A block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Your favorite BBQ rub or Everything Bagel seasoning
Pure maple syrup or BBQ sauce for a sweet twist
Here’s how to create this creamy wonder:
Preparation: Score the top of the cream cheese block in a cross-hatch pattern to allow the flavors of the rub or seasoning to deeply penetrate the cheese.
Seasoning: Generously cover the cream cheese block with your chosen BBQ rub or Everything Bagel seasoning. The spices will not only add a delightful complexity to the cheese, but also create a tasty, textured crust as it smokes.
Smoking: Place your seasoned cream cheese on the wood pellet grill, and let it smoke away for two blissful hours at 220 degrees. This slow process will allow the cheese to absorb the smoky flavor while keeping its delectable creaminess intact.
Finishing Touch: One hour into the smoking, add a drizzle of pure maple syrup or BBQ sauce to add a sweet or tangy contrast to the savory cream cheese.
