Substitutions and Additions
- Shredded coconut. Add sugar-free shredded coconut for coconut flavor.
- Chopped nuts. Stir in chopped almonds or pecans for crunch.
- Edible essential oils. A drop of orange or peppermint oil adds bright flavor.
- Protein powder. Mix in a scoop to boost protein content.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Combine ingredients: Place cream cheese, butter (or coconut oil), heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Step 2. Portion the batter: Use a cookie scoop to portion the mixture into a mini cupcake pan. Liner use is optional but convenient.
Step 3. Finish scooping: Continue filling the pan until all the mixture is used.
Step 4. Top and set: Sprinkle grated sugar-free baking chocolate if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours to set, or place in the freezer for 20–30 minutes for a firmer result.
Storage
Store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They keep best chilled and will last up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag; freeze individually first on a baking sheet for 30 minutes, then transfer to a bag or container.
Pro Tips
- Use a cookie scoop. A scoop ensures uniform sizes and easy serving.
- Melt coconut oil if using. If you choose coconut oil, warm it slightly so it mixes evenly.
- Freeze individually for convenience. Freeze on a tray first, then store in a freezer-safe container to prevent sticking.
