Wash and dry stalks of celery and cut each stalk into 3 pieces. Set aside. Note – They must be completely dry or the filling won’t stick.
Add cream cheese and milk to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper and pulse until combined.
Stuff celery sticks with the cream cheese mixture, using a small spoon or spreader. Garnish with cracked black pepper and fresh chopped herbs, arrange on a platter and serve.
Notes
Use softened block-style cream cheese.
Dry celery well after washing.
Chill filling if too soft.
Cut celery into even lengths.
Add seasoning to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
Filling can be made 1 day ahead.
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days.
