Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, such as Stilton or Cashel blue

  • 1 tablespoon (or more) Irish ale

Directions

  1. In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, blue cheese and butter. Pulse until blended and smooth. Add the ale, honey and both peppers, and pulse to blend.
