Step 1
Start by letting the cream cheese soften on the counter for about 30 minutes. In a medium bowl, blend it together with the blue cheese until smooth—a fork works well here. I like to really mix them thoroughly so no lumps remain. Next, fold in the celery, onion, hot pepper sauce, and cayenne until everything is evenly distributed. Cover the bowl and chill overnight, or at least 4 hours, until the mixture is firm enough to shape. Once chilled, scrape the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and, with clean hands, roll it into a ball. This is the messy part, but it comes together quickly. Spread the chopped pecans on a plate and roll the cheese ball around until it’s completely coated. Wrap the ball in fresh wax paper and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. It’s that simple—a gorgeous centerpiece for any spread.
