Ingredients
Scale
Fat Bomb Mixture
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 oz unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp low-carb sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp coconut flour (optional, for thickening)
Topping
- 1 tsp cocoa powder or cinnamon (for dusting)
Instructions
- Soften Ingredients: Let the cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften, ensuring they blend smoothly in the next step.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Add Sweetener and Vanilla: Incorporate the low-carb sweetener and vanilla extract into the mixture, mixing thoroughly until evenly combined and sweetened.
- Thicken Mixture (Optional): If the mixture feels too soft to shape, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut flour and let it sit for a few minutes to firm up slightly.
- Shape Fat Bombs: Use a small scoop or spoon to form the mixture into bite-sized balls, packing firmly to hold their shape.
- Chill: Place the shaped fat bombs on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and firm up.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, lightly dust the fat bombs with cocoa powder or cinnamon to add flavor and a decorative touch.
Notes
