Hummus:

3 cloves garlic
1 16-ounce can chickpeas drained (reserve the liquid)
1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce plus more for drizzling
¼ cup tahini
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons chickpea liquid or water as needed to thin

Instructions

Turn on food processor and toss in garlic through the lid. Process until minced.
Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth, adding chickpea liquid (or water) to thin as needed. Transfer the hummus to a bowl.
To the now empty food processor, add all of the whipped blue cheese ingredients (start with 1 TSBP cream) and blend until smooth & airy. If you find the mixture too thick, add a bit more heavy cream.
