Smoked Cream Cheese with Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce Dip

Smoked Cream Cheese with Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce Dip

This is one of those easy but WOW appetizers — creamy, smoky, sweet heat from cherry chipotle, and perfect for crackers, pretzels, or veggies. 

Ingredients

• 2 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese
• 2–3 tbsp Girls Gone Grillin' Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
• 1 tbsp Girls Gone Grillin’ S.P.G. Plus a Kiss of Onion BBQ seasoning
• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, helps seasoning stick)
• Crackers, pretzels, or toasted baguette for serving

Prep

Leave cream cheese out 20–30 minutes to soften slightly.

Score the top in a crosshatch pattern (don’t cut all the way through).

Lightly brush with olive oil.

Season generously on all sides.

Smoke It

Preheat smoker to 225–250°F

Place cream cheese on foil or small cast-iron skillet

Smoke 1½–2 hours until golden and soft

The outside will form a beautiful smoky crust while the inside turns ultra creamy.

Let it melt slightly into the scored edges

Flavor Variations Add candied jalapeños for extra heat

Top with crispy bacon bits

Mix in chopped pecans for crunch

Swirl the BBQ sauce halfway through smoking for layered flavor

Serving Idea

Serve warm in the skillet and let guests scoop right from it.

It’s perfect for:

Game day

Vendor events

Holiday parties

Backyard grilling nights
