An easy and impressive smoked cream cheese appetizer perfect for holidays or backyard BBQs, finished with a sweet and spicy hot honey drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ rub
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • Crackers, for serving
  • Jam, for serving

Instructions

  1. Score the top of the cream cheese block in a crosshatch pattern.
  2. Generously season the cream cheese with your favorite BBQ rub.
  3. Preheat your pellet smoker to 225°F (107°C).
  4. Place the seasoned cream cheese directly on the smoker grates.
  5. Smoke for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the cream cheese is softened and has a nice smoky color.
  6. Remove the cream cheese from the smoker.
  7. Drizzle generously with hot honey.
  8. Serve immediately with crackers and your favorite jams for a party board.

Notes

  • You can use any BBQ rub you like, or make your own.
  • If you don’t have a pellet smoker, you can achieve a similar smoky flavor using a stovetop smoker or by adding liquid smoke to the rub.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preference for sweetness and spice.
  • This appetizer pairs well with a variety of jams, such as fig, raspberry, or apricot.
