Notes
Tips
- Use an oven-safe dish to smoke your cream cheese. Just like an oven, a smoker can warp or crack pans or dishes not rated for ovens.
- When scoring the cream cheese, make your cuts about halfway through the block. This allows the smoke and seasonings to permeate the entire cheese.
- If using wood chips, soak them for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
