Ingredients

- Cream cheese 2 tbsp
Method

Prepare the celery sticks.
Start by washing the celery stalks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Then, cut the celery into sticks about 3-4 inches long, suitable for easy dipping and eating.
Tip: Make sure to dry the celery well so the cream cheese sticks better. -
Soften the cream cheese.
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it softens. This will make it easier to spread on the celery sticks.
Tip: If you're in a hurry, microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds to soften it gently. -
Spread cream cheese on celery.
Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each serving of celery sticks. Make sure to cover the inside groove of each stick evenly for the best taste.
Tip: Be gentle while spreading to avoid breaking the celery sticks.
Pro tips
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or herbs like chives on top for extra taste.
