Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:

4. Grill the Cream Cheese:

   • Place the foil-wrapped cream cheese in the Arteflame pizza oven or on the grill for indirect heat.
   • Cook for 30 minutes at 500°F in the pizza oven, or 1-2 hours at 250°F on indirect heat on the grill.

5. Serve:

   • Carefully remove the cream cheese from the grill and let it cool slightly.
   • Enjoy as a rich, creamy, and sweet dessert, perfect for spreading on crackers, bread, or fruit slices.

Tips

• For extra sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the cream cheese before serving.
• Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for added depth of flavor.
• Use a flavored sugar blend, such as cinnamon sugar or vanilla sugar, for even more deliciousness.

Variations
