Keto Coconut Cream Fat Bombs
Let’s just say it: “Fat bomb” is possibly the least appetizing name for something that’s actually delicious.
But don’t let the name fool you—these little bites are straight-up creamy coconut bliss. They’re rich, melt-in-your-mouth, and basically feel like dessert… except they keep you full and support your keto goals. Win-win.
Whether you’re fighting off a snack attack or just need a bite of something sweet without blowing your macros, Keto Coconut Cream Fat Bombs are here to save the day (and your willpower).
Why These Are a Keto Snack Must-Have
These little guys pack a serious punch:
- Loaded with healthy fats – Keeps you full, energized, and out of that “hangry” danger zone.
- Only ~1g net carb per bomb – So yes, you can have more than one 😉
- Insanely easy to make – No baking, no drama, no fuss.
- Tastes like coconut fudge – But without the sugar crash.
- Perfect for meal prep – Make a batch, store ‘em in the freezer, snack like a boss all week.
Seriously, these are the snacks you pop in your mouth when you’re trying not to demolish a bag of chips or eat peanut butter straight from the jar (again).
Ingredients (It’s a Short List—We Love That)
All you need is:
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut cream (not coconut milk—read that label!)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of salt, cinnamon, or a few sugar-free dark chocolate chips
You can also go wild and add a tiny bit of almond extract or lime zest if you want to get fancy. Coconut’s like that one chill friend who gets along with everyone.
How to Make ‘Em
Honestly? These are embarrassingly easy. Here’s the breakdown:
Step 1: Melt the Coconut Oil
In a saucepan (or microwave if you’re feeling lazy, no shame), gently melt the coconut oil until it’s totally liquid.
Step 2: Mix In the Good Stuff
Add in your coconut cream, sweetener, vanilla, and salt or spice if using. Stir until smooth and silky. You’re basically making coconut lava at this point.
Step 3: Add Texture
Fold in the shredded coconut (and chocolate chips if using). The mixture should be thick but pourable.
Step 4: Pour Into Molds
Spoon or pour the mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or mini muffin liners. You do not want to skip the liners unless you love chiseling frozen fat out of a tray with a butter knife 😬
Step 5: Freeze
Pop them in the freezer for 30–60 minutes until solid. Then store in an airtight container in the freezer or fridge, depending on how firm you like them.
Avoid These Fat Bomb Fails
- Using coconut milk instead of cream – Coconut milk is too runny. You’ll end up with oily soup.
- Not mixing thoroughly – If your oil separates, your bombs will have weird layers. Stir it like you mean it.
- Leaving them at room temp too long – Coconut oil melts at like 76°F. These aren’t road-trip snacks, y’all.
- Overdoing the sweetener – A little goes a long way. Too much and they get that “cool” erythritol bite. Not the vibe.
Flavor Variations (Aka Make These Over and Over Without Getting Bored)
These are super customizable. Try:
- Chocolate Coconut Bombs – Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a Mounds bar feel.
- Lemon Coconut Bombs – Add lemon zest + a splash of lemon juice for a bright, tropical vibe.
- Almond Joy Vibes – Add chopped almonds + a few sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Pumpkin Spice Bombs – A little pumpkin puree + cinnamon + nutmeg = seasonal bliss.
FAQ
Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?
You can, but it changes the texture. Butter fat bombs are firmer and a bit more “fudge-like.”
Are these actually filling?
Yep. High-fat snacks = long-lasting energy. Just one or two can keep you full between meals.
Can I store them in the fridge?
Totally. They’ll be softer than freezer bombs, but still hold their shape.
Can I make them nut-free?
Absolutely. These don’t contain nuts by default—just make sure your coconut cream and add-ins are nut-safe.
How long do they last?
Up to 2 weeks in the fridge, or months in the freezer (if they last that long… which they won’t).
Do they kick you out of ketosis?
Nope—as long as you stick with low-carb sweeteners and watch the portion size, you’re golden.
Final Thoughts
Keto Coconut Cream Fat Bombs are the kind of snack that makes keto feel like a lifestyle win instead of a never-ending struggle. They’re simple, sweet, and basically little bites of creamy coconut heaven. Plus, they’re so easy to make you’ll wonder why you ever bought those overpriced, pre-packaged ones in the first place.
