For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of ghost pepper hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Conversely, increase these for even more intense heat. If you don't have fromage blanc, you can substitute it with ricotta cheese or crème fraîche. Serve with an assortment of crisp flatbreads, tortilla chips, crackers, or crudités for a delightful textural contrast. The spread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
