These low carb, keto fat bombs are an easy, no-bake frozen treat you can make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz (170g) cream cheese
  • 2 oz (60g) coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup super fine almond flour
  • 1 oz (30g) swerve (approx. 2 tablespoons) + 1 teaspoon for mixing with shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions:

  1. Soften Ingredients:
    • Begin by allowing the cream cheese and coconut oil (or butter) to sit at room temperature until they become soft and easy to work with.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, coconut oil (or butter), super fine almond flour, 2 tablespoons of swerve, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract (if using).
    • Mix all the ingredients together until a thick dough forms.
  3. Chill the Dough:
    • Place the dough in the freezer and let it chill for approximately 10 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
  4. Coat with Shredded Coconut:
    • While the dough is chilling, sift the shredded unsweetened coconut and mix it with 1 teaspoon of swerve in a shallow plate.
    • Remove the dough from the freezer and shape it into golf ball-sized portions.
    • Roll each portion of dough in the sweetened shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    • Arrange the coated fat bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Final Chill:
    • Place the baking sheet with the fat bombs in the freezer for another 10 to 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Enjoy or Store:
    • Once the fat bombs have set, you can enjoy them immediately (but resist the urge to eat them all at once!).
    • If you have leftovers, store the lemon cheesecake keto fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to keep them fresh.

These Lemon Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs are a delicious and satisfying treat for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. Enjoy them as a snack or dessert whenever you need a dose of healthy fats and a burst of lemony flavor.
