For a smoother spread, you can use a food processor to combine the ingredients. Just be careful not to over-process, or the cheese will become mushy. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can omit them altogether. If you can't find Duke's mayonnaise, you can use another brand, but be sure to choose one that is high-quality and has a tangy flavor. Serve with crackers, crudités, or on sandwiches. It's also delicious as a topping for burgers or baked potatoes.
