Question 1

How do you make smoked cream cheese on a pellet grill?

Accepted Answer

I take one block of cream cheese, season it all over with a BBQ rub (I used Meat Church Honey Hog), and smoke it at 250°F. I set it right in the middle of the grill and let it go until it starts to pop. On my cook, it took about 45 minutes.

Question 2

What temperature do you smoke cream cheese at on a pellet grill?

Accepted Answer

I run my pellet grill at 250°F for smoked cream cheese. That temp is easy to hold and it gives you a nice smoke flavor without overthinking it. Just keep an eye on it as it softens up.

Question 3

How long does smoked cream cheese take at 250 degrees?

Accepted Answer

For this cook at 250°F, mine was ready at about 45 minutes. I checked it at 30 minutes and it wasn’t quite there yet, so I gave it another 15. When you see it start to pop, you’re good.

Question 4

Do you need to score cream cheese before smoking it?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to. I’ve seen people cut little slits and I’ve done it once, but in this video I didn’t score it at all. It still turns out really good and keeps the whole process simple.

Question 5

What seasoning is best for smoked cream cheese?

Accepted Answer

I used Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ rub and it tasted great on the cream cheese. It’s an easy way to get a lot of flavor without mixing up anything complicated. If you like experimenting, you can always tweak it from there.

Question 6

What do you eat smoked cream cheese with?

Accepted Answer

I ate mine with crackers and it was a solid appetizer. It’s one of those quick things you can throw on when you’ve got company over. Next time I’m also going to try adding a little honey for something sweet.

Question 7

How do you know when smoked cream cheese is done?

Accepted Answer

I go by looks more than anything. Once it starts to pop and it’s softened up, it’s ready to pull. On this run, that happened right around the 45-minute mark at 250°F.
