gramsNear the top of the list of my favorite things are cream cheese and anything smoked. As a result, this recipe has become one that I make on a weekly basis. It goes great on your favorite keto cracker, on celery sticks, in a roll-up/wrap, or pretty much any place you’d use regular cream cheese.
Ingredients
1 brick cream cheese *see note on brand/carbs
olive oil or avocado oil spray
1 TB Serious Keto BBQ rub
Directions
- Make small tray or “boat” out of aluminum foil (see video for how I do it). Place the brick of cream cheese on the foil and coat with olive oil or avocado oil. I find that spray works the best for this.
- Apply BBQ rub to all sides and then smoke (see next steps for details)
- If smoking in an outdoor smoker, smoke for 2 hours at 245F (approximately 120C). You can use the wood of your choice, but I like cherry wood.
- If smoking on a stovetop smoker, you will smoke the cheese for an hour, following the instructions in the video below.

Notes
- Nutritional information is based on a serving size of 1 ounce (28g) or 1/8th of a brick.
- Carbs can vary significantly depending on the brand of cream cheese you use. Kraft Philadelphia brand has the lowest I’ve found at .5g per ounce.

Just keep up your positivity and keep fighting Steve
Make this. Now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just happened to be already smoking a pork shoulder when I saw this! Turned out amazing! Steve, you have a super cute family! We love watching you, keep going!
Just came across this again. Made it when I 1st saw your video, what was left was better the 2nd day! Just wondering have you considered making your own cream cheese? Philly is getting hard to find sometimes & it would be awesome to be able to make it at home with the same low carbs!
I have not tried making cream cheese, but it’s an interesting idea.
I make this every time I fire up the green egg. It is so delicious. My family loves clam dip so I adjusted the recipe a little to include the smoke cream cheese, it was a major hit.
This cream cheese I started smoking a few months back. I really love the BBQ rub. I recommend both videos – the BBQ rub recipe and the smoked cream cheese I used “Pride of SZEGED™ Hungarian sweet paprika in the rub only because it was what I had on hand in a half cup quantity… also because it was time to use it up due to the fact this spice had a Best If Used By August of 2015. Still GOOD! I would buy more but “Spiceco” doesn’t show it on their website anymore. ENJOY!
