Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs
Easy and delicious keto chocolate fat bombs made with coconut oil, cocoa powder, and sweetener. These are perfect for a quick energy boost and to satisfy chocolate cravings while staying in ketosis.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup, melted Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2-3 tablespoons Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Shredded Coconut
Mixing
Step 1: Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste and Adjust Sweetness
Step 2: Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more erythritol or monk fruit sweetener if needed, adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.
Prepare Molds
Step 3: Prepare Molds: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone molds. This will make it easier to remove the fat bombs once they are set.
Fill Molds
Step 4: Fill Molds: Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared molds. Each mold should be filled about ¾ full.
Garnish and Chill
Step 5: Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each fat bomb for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Chill to Set
Step 6: Chill: Place the muffin tin or silicone molds in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the fat bombs are firm and set. This will allow them to harden properly.
Serve and Store
Step 7: Serve: Once set, remove the fat bombs from the molds and serve immediately. Store any remaining fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their shape and consistency.
