Directions
Stir the cream cheese, fromage blanc, tomato paste, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion, and garlic powder in a bowl. Then, add the sriracha, ghost pepper sauce, sweet and hot paprika, chipotle powder, and cayenne pepper. Give everything a good stir until the cheeses are fully blended and the mixture looks smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least three hours—overnight is even better if you have the time. Before serving, taste and add a little salt if you think it needs it. Spoon the spread into a serving bowl and enjoy!
