Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make these Cheesecake Fat Bombs:

Ingredient Notes

Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s full-fat cream cheese for maximum creaminess.

Swerve: This is a sugar substitute that’s great for keto recipes because it doesn’t have any carbs or calories. You should be able to find it at your local grocery store. If you don’t have Swerve, other granular sugar substitutes like Erythritol or Monk Fruit can be used as well.

Lily’s Baking Chocolate Chips: Lily’s chocolate chips are sweetened with Stevia and Erythritol, making them keto-friendly. They add a great chocolatey crunch. If you can’t find them, you can substitute with any other sugar-free chocolate chips.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before starting. This will make it much easier to mix.
Mix Well: It’s important to thoroughly mix your ingredients with a hand mixer until the batter is smooth and creamy to avoid lumps in your fat bombs.
Use Silicone Molds: Silicone molds make it easy to shape your fat bombs and remove them once they’ve hardened. You can find these in different shapes and sizes on Amazon, making your fat bombs as cute as they are tasty.

Storage

Storage: I recommend storing these cheesecake bombs in the freezer and then pulling them out to thaw at room temperature before enjoying. Alternatively, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Freezing: These fat bombs can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months.

Additions and Substitutions

SUBSTITUTIONS
Swerve Granular Sugar: If you can’t find Swerve, other sugar free sweeteners like Erythritol or Monk Fruit can be used.

Lily’s Baking Chocolate Chips: Can’t find Lily’s? Any brand of sugar-free chocolate chips can be used instead.

ADDITIONS
Flavors: You can add different extracts like almond, lemon, or coconut for a flavor twist. Lemon cheesecake anyone?

Fresh Fruit: Add about a half a cup of fresh mashed berries before mixing for a berry cheesecake. Strawberries are really yummy!

Cocoa Powder: Add one teaspoon of cocoa powder the cheesecake mixture for a chocolate cheesecake. Yum!

Cheesecake Fat Bombs FAQs

Can I use low-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese?

The recipe calls for full-fat cream cheese for a reason – it provides more flavor and makes the fat bombs more satiating. However, if you only have low-fat cream cheese on hand, you can use it, but bear in mind the fat bombs won’t be as rich.

Can I use a different flavor extract?

Absolutely, feel free to experiment with different flavors. Almond, lemon, coconut, or even mint extracts could work wonderfully.

I’m dairy-free. Can I still make these fat bombs?

Yes, you can. There are dairy-free alternatives to cream cheese and heavy cream such as vegan cream cheese and full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream. You can also use a dairy-free butter alternative.

I’m not on a keto diet. Can I still enjoy these?

Absolutely! While these cheesecake fat bombs are designed to be keto-friendly, they’re delicious and can be enjoyed by anyone. However, if you aren’t following a keto diet and are closely watching your calorie intake, bear in mind that these treats are high in fat and are therefore quite calorie-dense.
