Description

These celery boats are crunchy, creamy, savory, and packed with smoky bacon flavor.
The sharp cheddar pairs perfectly with the smooth cream cheese, while the celery
provides a refreshing crisp bite. They are naturally low in carbohydrates and
high in satisfying fats, making them perfect for keto and low-carb diets.

Tips

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
• Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
• Swap cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy variation.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Use a piping bag for a cleaner and more professional presentation.

Correction & Variations

• If the filling is too thick, add a small splash of heavy cream to loosen it.
• If the mixture is too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before filling.
• For a lighter version, mix in mashed avocado for added creaminess.
• Avoid sweetened bacon or flavored cream cheese to keep it strictly low-carb.
