Can we all just agree that the best part of winter might be the warm and hearty, stick-to-your-bones food that accompanies it? I mean, in addition to the fabulous winter clothes, cozy blankets, and general merry-making. This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is a fantastic way to embrace the cold winter air with a delicious salty + savory warm-up that fits a low-carb diet.
How to serve Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip
I love to serve this dip with Keto-friendly vessels like pork rinds, bake parmesan crisps (because you can never have too much cheese), or lower carb veggies like celery, cucumber, and bell peppers. For those not abstaining from the carbs, but wanting to limit grain or gluten, I love this dip with Siete Grain Free Tortillas Chips or grain-free toast points.
On the off chance you actually have leftovers
This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is superb as a low-carb filling for stuffed mushrooms or baby bell peppers. It’s so good I slathered a bit on top of gluten-free toast and topped it with a fried egg for breakfast one morning. No regrets.
A note for special diets
This Keto Artichoke Spinach Dip is grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb, low-lactose, vegetarian, and friendly for SIBO diets. I choose to use a combination of lactose-free cream cheese and low-lactose aged cheese for this to keep it SIBO-friendly. Sharp cheddar, parmesan, and gruyere are aged cheeses which usually only containing trace amounts (0.5 grams or less) of lactose. If you are not lactose-sensitive, regular cream cheese works perfectly as well in place of the lactose-free. For those following a Keto diet, the net carb count per 1/2 cup serving of this Artichoke Spinach Dip is only 3 grams.

![He had never had any money for candy with the Dursleys, and now that he had pockets rattling with gold and silver he was ready to buy as many Mars Bars as he could carry — but the woman didn’t have Mars Bars.

“What are these?” Harry asked Ron, holding up a pack of Chocolate Frogs. “They’re not really frogs, are they?” He was starting to feel that nothing would surprise him. “No,” said Ron. “But see what the card is. I’m missing Agrippa.” “What?” “Oh, of course, you wouldn’t know — Chocolate Frogs have cards inside them, you know, to collect — famous witches and wizards. I’ve got about five hundred, but I haven’t got Agrippa or Ptolemy.” – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

In celebration of Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling's birthdays on July 31st (today!) I've been nerding out with Harry Potter content all month long!
⚡️
I'm finishing Harry Potter July this year with a favorite treat introduced in the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Harry and his new friend Ron Weasley bond while eating through the Chocolate Frogs and other wizarding candy on the Hogwarts Express while on their way to their first year at Hogwarts.
⚡️
It's one of my favorite moments from the series because you realize that Harry finally has the opportunity to forge the love and friendship that was lacking in his first 11 years with the Dursleys. It also happens to be a delicious reason to eat a little extra chocolate today!

![“It’s all right,” he said. “I haven’t done anything to them. It’s the custard creams you’ve got to watch–” Neville, who had just bitten into a custard cream, choked and spat it out. Fred laughed. “Just my little joke, Neville…” […] Just then, Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary. “Oh– sorry, Neville!” Fred shouted over all the laughter. “I forgot — it was the custard creams we hexed–” Within a minute, however, Neville had molted, and once his feathers had fallen off, he reappeared looking entirely normal.” He even joined in the laughing. “Canary Creams!” Fred shouted to the excitable crowd. “George and I invented them– seven Sickles each, a bargain!” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
⚡️
Weasleys’ Canary Creams made their first appearance in Harry’s 4th year during the Tri-Wizard Tournament when Fred gave Neville a hexed custard cream that temporarily turned him into a large canary.
⚡️
Though no harm was done, Fred and George’s classmates began to think twice before accepting food from either of them because it was likely hexed in some way.
⚡️
Though these biscuits won't turn you into a large canary, I decided to really lean into that description when creating my version. My bird-shaped biscuits use a gluten-free, refined sugar-free lemon shortbread biscuit filled with a smooth and fluffy lemon cream cheese buttercream filling. They're the biscuit version of a really fancy buttercream cupcake with a little Harry Potter flair.
