Simple Ingredients
These treats use mostly pantry staples you likely have now. Fresh, full-fat ingredients provide the best flavor and texture.
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 4 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter, softened at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Step-by-Step Directions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter.
- Using a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should be completely smooth and light.
- Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl.
- Mix on low speed until the sweetener is incorporated. Then increase to medium speed for 1 minute for a velvety texture.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 12 equal servings. Place them onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Place the fat bombs in the freezer for at least 2 hours. They should reach a firm, solid consistency.
- Transfer the set fat bombs to an airtight container. Store in the freezer or refrigerator for consumption.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve these little treats straight from the freezer for a firm bite. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of black coffee. You can also enjoy them as a post-workout snack. Set them on a pretty plate for a quick dessert. For a date night, drizzle them with sugar-free chocolate. They are small but very satisfying for any occasion.
Keep It Fresh
Store your fat bombs in an airtight container immediately. They keep best in the freezer for up to one month. You can also keep them in the fridge for one week. They will soften quickly at room temperature. This makes them a great make-ahead snack for the week. Always keep them cold until you are ready to eat.
Pro Tips for Success
- Do not skip softening your cream cheese and butter first.
- Use powdered sweetener to avoid a gritty or sandy texture.
- A small cookie scoop makes perfectly even portions every time.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm fall flavor.
- Double the batch during the holidays to share with guests.
- Scrape the sides of your bowl often while mixing.
- Use grass-fed butter for a richer and deeper flavor profile.
- Freeze them in silicone molds for the easiest removal process.
