5. Smoking Process
Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and preheat it to the desired temperature. Once the smoker is ready, place the seasoned cream cheese in a shallow dish or aluminum foil pan. Place the dish on the smoker rack and close the lid.
6. Time and Temperature
Maintain a consistent temperature of around 225°F (107°C) throughout the smoking process. Smoke the cream cheese for approximately 1-2 hours, or until it achieves your desired level of smokiness. Keep an eye on the temperature and adjust as needed to prevent overheating.
7. Serving Suggestions
Once your smoked cream cheese is ready, it’s time to serve and enjoy! Spread it onto crackers or toasted baguette slices for a simple yet elegant appetizer. Alternatively, use it as a creamy filling for stuffed mushrooms or jalapeno poppers.
