Description
These incredibly easy 3-Ingredient Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs require no baking! Cream cheese, peanut butter, and a keto-friendly sweetener are mixed, rolled, and frozen for a simple and satisfying low-carb treat. An optional dark chocolate chip coating adds extra decadence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) creamy peanut butter, room temperature
- 1 ounce (approx. 2 tablespoons) Swerve confectioners’ sweetener (or other powdered keto-friendly sweetener)
- Optional Coating: 1/2 cup crushed sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Soften Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese and peanut butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, room temperature peanut butter, and powdered sweetener. Stir with a fork or spatula until thoroughly combined and very smooth.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Shape Fat Bombs: Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon size) or your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (roughly golf-ball sized or smaller).
- Coat (Optional): If desired, place the crushed sugar-free dark chocolate chips in a shallow dish. Roll each fat bomb ball in the crushed chocolate chips until coated.
- Arrange and Freeze: Place the formed fat bombs (coated or uncoated) on the prepared lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- Store: Once solid, transfer the fat bombs to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer.
Notes
- Room Temperature: Softened cream cheese and room temperature peanut butter are key for a smooth, easy-to-mix filling.
- Peanut Butter: Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Check labels to ensure it’s low in sugar for keto.
- Sweetener: Powdered keto-friendly sweeteners like Swerve (erythritol blend) or monk fruit blend work best as they dissolve easily. Adjust the amount to your taste.
- Chocolate Chips (Optional): Ensure you use sugar-free or keto-friendly dark chocolate chips if adding the coating. Crushing them helps them adhere better.
- Storage: These fat bombs must be stored in the freezer to maintain their shape and texture. They will soften considerably at room temperature.
