Instructions
1. Prep the Cream Cheese: Take your cream cheese block out of the wrapper but leave it cold to handle easily. Pat it dry and place it on a small piece of foil or a smoker-safe dish.
2.Season It Up: Mix the seasoning in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously over all sides of the cream cheese. Pat it lightly so the seasoning sticks.
3.Fire Up the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Use mild wood chips like pecan, apple, or cherry for a subtle, sweet flavor.
4.Smoke That Cheese: Place the cream cheese directly into the smoker. Let it soak up the smoky goodness for 2 hours. Don’t rush—this is where the magic happens!
5.Optional Toppings: After about 90 minutes, drizzle honey or syrup over the top and sprinkle on the nuts for a sweet, crunchy finish.
6.Serve & Devour: Carefully remove the cream cheese from the smoker. Serve it warm with crackers or veggies, and watch it disappear in minutes!
