Preparation
Step 1
1. In the bowl of a food processor, purée the blue cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, worcestershire, and hot sauce until mixture is smooth and creamy. Using kitchen shears, cut 1⁄4" from a corner of a 1-qt. resealable plastic bag and fit with a small pastry tip. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the cheese mixture to the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
2. Arrange lettuce on a platter and top with 1 cup crushed ice (if using). Line platter with celery sticks. Pipe about 2 tbsp. chilled cheese mixture into each celery stick. Sprinkle paprika over celery and garnish each with an olive half and parsley.
