Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs

These low carb, keto fat bombs are an easy, no-bake frozen dessert that you can make with only 5 ingredients. Tastes like a strawberry or raspberry cheesecake treat — almost like ice cream! And made with real fruit. Read on to learn what keto fat bombs are and how to make them.

What is a keto fat bomb and why eat them?

A fat bomb is a bite-sized dessert or snack that’s high in fat and low in carbs. They’re usually made with few ingredients that include a source of fat (butter, coconut oil, cream cheese, etc.) and some flavoring (fruit, chocolate, nuts, seeds, coconut, mint, vanilla, lemon, etc.). No sugar is used.

Fat bombs and other low carb desserts (like keto chocolate chip cookies) are great for anyone on keto because they provide a convenient and delicious snack that meets their diet’s macronutrient requirements — low in carbs, high in fat.

Tips for making cheesecake keto fat bombs

• For best results, the strawberries should be room temperature and pureed using a small blender. You want them to be thoroughly mashed.
• Measure out the appropriate amount of strawberries by weight. If you accidentally add too much, it can make the batter too watery and the texture will be off.
• The cream cheese and butter should be room temperature, to avoid big clumps of cream cheese in the final batter. Use an electric mixer to get the batter as well-mixed as possible.
• Use any kind of mold shape — ideally each fat bomb should be bite-sized, about 1.5 inches in length. You might have some candy molds lying around. I used round silicone molds.

Sweeteners

For best results, measure out the amount of sweetener by weight and not volume.

I use granular swerve, and their confectioners version will also work. This is a dry sweetener that has a 1:1 substitution ratio for table sugar.

If you use pure erythritol, you’ll want to use more sweetener (around 1.5 ounces), since erythritol is only about 70% as sweet as sugar.

Alternate Flavors

If it’s your first time making this recipe, I suggest using strawberries (as shown here) or raspberries (my personal favorite). After that, you can try other fruits like blueberries, using the same weight. Stick with berries, as other fruits tend to have a lot more carbs.

If you’re feeling bold, you can explore outside the fruit realm and try adding peanut butter or chocolate. If you do, let me know in the comments!

Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs

These low carb, keto fat bombs are an easy, no-bake frozen dessert that you can make with only 5 ingredients. Tastes like a strawberry or raspberry cheesecake treat - almost like ice cream!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Servings 18 servings

Calories 60 kcal

Ingredients

• 6 ounces cream cheese
• 2 - 2.5 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
• 2 ounces salted butter (4 tablespoons)
• 1 ounce granular swerve sweetener (roughly 2 tablespoons)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Let the cream cheese, strawberries, and butter sit at room temperature for about an hour to soften before continuing with the recipe.

2. Puree the strawberries using a small blender like the Nutribullet. Alternatively, you can mash them by hand, but the texture will be less smooth.

3. In a bowl, combine pureed strawberries, sweetener, and vanilla, stirring until well-mixed.

4. In a separate bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds until very soft and pliable. This is an optional step, but it makes the cream cheese softer and more easily combined with other ingredients.

5. Add butter and cream cheese to the bowl with the strawberry mixture. Use an electric hand mixer and beat until well-mixed, ideally without any large cream cheese clumps remaining.
6. Divide the batter into 18 round silicone molds, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, before serving. Store leftovers in the freezer.
