Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of powdered erythritol (or any preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- Add a bit of salt, if desired, to improve the flavour.
- Optional: lemon zest or cocoa powder for additional taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and coconut oil. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and your preferred sweetener (powdered erythritol) to the mixture. All ingredients should be thoroughly combined. To your pleasure, taste and adjust sweetness.
- For a touch of flavor, you can also add a pinch of salt, lemon zest, or cocoa powder depending on your preference.
- Once the mixture is well combined and flavored, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until it becomes firm enough to handle.
- When the mixture has solidified, remove it from the refrigerator. Put parchment paper on a dish or tray to line it.
- Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion the mixture into evenly sized balls and place them on the prepared tray.
- If you prefer a more distinct shape, you can roll each ball between your palms to form a smooth, round fat bomb.
- Place the tray of fat bombs back into the refrigerator for at least an hour to set completely.
- Once the fat bombs are firm and set, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
