I did a bar in my last cheese smoke. It held up surprisingly well. Anyway ...
Did potato pancakes this morning, rustic style. Shredded potato and onion, S&P and cayenne. Fried 'em up and spread on some of the smoked cream cheese. Good stuff.
Pic of what's left.

Did some cream cheese when I did my cheese smoke and like you was surprised how well it held up.
Wifie likes CC on crackers and other tidbits and she like the smoked CC very well.
Well, seemore and I are going to have to try this the next time we smoke cheese.
We did some goat cheese in the last smoke, and it was really good on crackers and in main dishes.
I imagine the cream cheese would be roughly on the same line......
YUM.
Mrs
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cream Cheese.
Havent smoked any yet but the CC is on our grocery list each week, Taby really likes it and this Sun she made some stuff that had CC, sour cream, grapes and some other sweet stuff. Wasnt bad but I'm not mush of a sweet eater.
Like I tell the kids "I'm so sweet I dont need anything sweet" ;D
HHHmmmmmmm.......smoked cream cheese.How about making a cheese cake with that.....might be interesting.
I dunno about the cheesecake. It seems to me the smoke might make it too savory. It goes good on crackers and bagels and stuff. I might try it in a dip.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I've always wanted to try the smoked cream cheese and make a savory cheesecake to be used as an appetizer. To spread on crackers & stuff.
This thread is getting dangerously cheesy.

Cheeeeseball Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Pfowl there is a cheescake recipe that you could probably find on the Food Network website from one of Emeril's shows.
It was a cheescake that was made with jalapenos. I don't know, but maybe using one block of smoked cream cheese in the batch might enhance it......
I think I might have posted it on this forum, but that was a couple years back...

Savory Cheesecakes are goood eats - not better than sweet cheesecake, but very good eats nonetheless. Last one I did was for my parents 50th anniv. Had lox, artichoke bottoms, garlic, dill and more items I can't remember. I think using smoked c.c. would be da bomb!

All I got to say is WOW! ;)
I agree: artichokes, lox AND garlic dill? I would LOVE it!
Mrs
Caney,
What part of the meal did you sue it for? Dessert?
It was the HorseyDorvey part of a six course meal!
Arnie, the dessert creation was extravagant - it was a golden anniversary for my parents - gotta go all out!
Caney's no-name fancy dessert
Chocolate sheet cake made with walnuts
Fudge icing
profiteroles soaked in honey stacked two deep
ganache poured on top of that and hardened
dulce de leche on top of that
decorated with spun sugar colored gold
with small pieces of gold leaf scattered on top.
served with homemade dulce de leche ice cream.

Although I do not know what most of this is, it must have been really good. :)
That looks good. Can almost taste it all the way over here.
Has anyone ever smoked Famunda Cheese?
Roadking, I don't even know what Famunda cheese is, let alone to have smoked it!
Please tell me what type of cheese it is!

:D Mrs. Seemore, your the the last person I wanted to catch on this. ;D
Don't know how old you are but many many moons ago there was a program called "The Jackie Gleason Show". He would do a skit and a couple of things he would pull out of his bag of tricks was "Mama Fletcha's Fatcha Matcha Cheese". He said if you can't find it in the store then get "Famunda cheese" which is all over the place and you can get it "from under the your arms". Aka: Famunda cheese. Got to be nasty nasty stuff. :D
Ha kind of backfired eh. :D :D :D I wasn't going to fall for that one, but I wonder how many googled it. ;D

Yeah I didn't think of that. But we at least know where everyone is now. Don't we. ;D ;D
:-[ Well, I'm 51, and I do remember watching repeats of The Honeymooners, but I never saw any repeats of The Jackie Gleason Show.......
My coworkers refer to me as Rose, as in Rose from The Golden Girls....
it seems the older I get, the ditzier I become.....
I got a huge chuckle from that, though......Famunda cheese!
I am 47 in march and I love the old shows. For awhile we were getting the jackie gleason show and I do remember the famunda thing. Which is surprising cause I have terrible memory recall. I would not have thought of that on my own in a million years but when you mentioned it the light came on, although very dimly. :D :D :D
I did not watch it much - (too yankee for my Dad!). But did watch some, and I just don't remember that. I was one of the ones who was googling when you answered the Mrs.
Gleason was a character wish I could get all of his shows on dvd. Another guy he had on as a guest was Frank Fontaine, who played a drunk, I used to roll from laughter.
