Smoked Cream Cheese is an easy appetizer made by seasoning a block of cream cheese and cooking it low and slow on the smoker until warm, creamy, and filled with smoky flavor. Make it with Everything Bagel seasoning, Buffalo Ranch, Chick-fil-A sauce, or your favorite seasoning blend.
I first made smoked cream cheese after seeing it all over TikTok, and of course I had to try a few different flavors. Buffalo Ranch ended up being my favorite, but this recipe is easy to customize with whatever seasonings you like.
