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

Make sure cream cheese and butter are properly softened for smooth blending.
Use a keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit or erythritol to keep carb count low.
Adding coconut flour is optional but helps if the mixture is too soft for shaping.
Store fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
They can also be frozen for longer storage and thawed before serving.
Feel free to experiment with toppings such as chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
