Ingredients

  • 2 blocks Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Directions

Prepare your cooker with your choice of fuel, we prefer Royal Oak Charcoal and Cherry Wood for this recipe or Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets blended 50/50 with Cherry Pellets. You are looking for a cooking temperature between 200° to a max of 224°. You can also prepared this on a gas grill using in-direct heat, if you have a smoking box you can add soaked cherry wood or a dry pellets in a an aluminum foil pouch with a few holes to generate the smoke flavor.

Sprinkle each side of the cream cheese blocks with W’ham Lost at Sea. You can adjust coverage to your personal taste. Place on a sheet pan or small aluminum pan and place on your cooker.

Smoke for an hour to hour and a half. The cream cheese should be soft but not melted at this point and a golden color.

Remove from the smoker.

You can serve this warm or place in the refrigerator to cool and serve later.

Place the block on a serving dish or blend together and place in a serving bowl with crackers or baguette slices.

Optionally Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and presentation.
