Instructions (for 10 snails)

1. Prepare the celery bases: Cut the celery sticks into 10 small, bite-sized pieces (around 10 g per piece). These pieces will serve as the base for your keto-friendly snails.
2. Fill with cream cheese: Spread 10 g of Monchou cream cheese into the groove of each celery stick. Use a spoon or piping bag for clean application.
3. Create the heads: Slice 50 g of cherry tomatoes in half, and place half a tomato (5 g) at the end of each celery stick to serve as the snail’s head.
4. Insert the antennae: Take two pieces of chives and insert them just behind the tomato head, sticking them into the cream cheese. This will secure the antennae in place, with the chive pieces sticking out like little snail feelers.
5. Add the cucumber shells: Place 3 g of thinly sliced cucumber on top of the cream cheese for the snail’s “shell.”
6. Make the eyes: Use chopped black olives (1 g per snail) for the eyes. Attach them to the cherry tomato heads by lightly pressing them into place with a tiny dab of cream cheese as a glue.
7. Serve: Arrange your snails on a playful plate and serve immediately. They make a fun and healthy snack or appetizer, ideal for celebrations or everyday fun.

Chef’s Tip

To adjust the ratio, increase the amount of cream cheese or add a drizzle of olive oil for additional fat. You can also experiment with different low-carb vegetables to vary the look of your snails while maintaining the ketogenic balance.
