Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce block cold cream cheese, full fat
- 2 Tablespoons Demerara sugar
- 1-pint strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Yoder Smokers YS640 to 225F. Place the cream cheese in the center of a heat-safe container. Lightly score the top of the cream cheese in a hashmark pattern. Add the prepared strawberries around the outside of the cream cheese. Sprinkle the 2 Tablespoons of Demerara sugar overtop of the cream cheese and strawberries.
- Place the dish onto the top rack of the smoker and smoke for 1 hour.
- Remove from the smoker and transfer the strawberries to a small pan. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of white sugar over top and bring to a boil. Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium and gently mash the strawberries. Skim off any foam and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture starts to slightly thicken. Allow to cool slightly and pour the mixture back into the cream cheese pan, around the smoked cream cheese. *To keep the smoked cream cheese warm, place it in a preheated 250F oven while the strawberries are reduced down into a sauce.
