Coconut Cream Keto Fat Bombs
These Coconut Cream Keto Fat Bombs are a delightful and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sticking to your ketogenic lifestyle. They're creamy, coconutty, and perfect for a quick and healthy treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz), refrigerated overnight Coconut Cream
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- to taste Erythritol or Stevia
- 2 tablespoons, melted Coconut Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Preparation
Refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream overnight. This will separate the cream from the watery liquid.
Scooping the Coconut Cream
Carefully scoop out the thick coconut cream from the top of the can, leaving the watery liquid behind. Discard or save the liquid for another use.
Mixing the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the scooped coconut cream, unsweetened shredded coconut, erythritol (or stevia), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Forming the Fat Bombs
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop out equal portions of the coconut mixture. Roll each portion into a ball. If the mixture is too soft, chill it for a few minutes before rolling.
Chilling and Setting
Place the rolled fat bombs on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the fat bombs are firm.
Serving and Storage
Once the fat bombs are firm, they are ready to serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy directly from the fridge or freezer.
