I happen to love this blue cheese dressing on my cobb salads. It's
from my good friend Bob Pastorio who recently passed away.

Pastorio's Whipped Cream Dressings/Dips
Recipe By: Bob Pastorio
1 cup heavy cream whipped
3/4 cup gorgonzola
Of course it's over the top. What could be better? How about incorporate
the horseradish, capers and onion, very finely minced or even pureed,
into the whipped cream? Want to really, really take it over the top? Add
a bit of finely minced smoked salmon to the whipped cream and fold in a
bit of caviar - both red and black...
Gorgonzola (or any blue-veined cheese) dressing for salad - comprised of
whipped cream (a cup of liquid cream, whipped to full volume and then
put into a sieve over a bowl in the fridge to let any whey drip out -
couple hours). After draining, put whipped cream into a bowl and stir
1/2 to 3/4 cup (or however much suits you) crumbled gorgonzola into it.
Let sit for 12 hours or overnight. Stunning on salads or as a dip for
fruit...
Whipped cream drained like that with finely minced smoked salmon, a dash
of lemon juice, grate of black pepper, and a sprinkle of minced fresh
dill is an astonishing spread... (ground ginger optional)
That technique of whipping the cream and holding it in a sieve or
strainer for a while to let any loose liquid drain out means it'll be
simultaneously light and more dense than if left undrained.
Incorporating other flavors into it then is easy. I'd run those other
ingredients in a processor and fold them in to the whipped cream.
Think of other flavors to do that with...
Ground or fresh ginger to put on top of, oh, I dunno, pumpkin pie?
Cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg on top of hot apple pie.
Others...?
