Step 1

Add the Cheddar, mayonnaise, hot sauce and garlic to a food processor and pulse to combine, making sure the cheese remains coarse. Add the cream cheese and pulse until combined. Add the chopped pimientos and pulse twice, just to incorporate into the mixture.

Step 2

Line a small bowl with plastic wrap then press the cheese mixture into the bowl. Cover the top with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
