Maraschino Cherry Cream Cheese

It was a tradition in my family to have celery stuffed with a cream cheese, maraschino cherry, and walnut spread.  We had this every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I was not able to make this since maraschino cherries are full of sugar.

UNTIL… I decided to make my Keto Maraschino Cherries

I was so excited to make this for Thanksgiving and I will make it again for Christmas – love being able to keep my family traditions and still stay keto.
