What is a Fat Bomb? And Why We Love This Keto Recipe
Keto-friendly Fat Bombs AKA Low Carb Cheesecake Bites are made with cream cheese and sweetened with low-carb erythritol, so they have a distinct cheesecake flavor without any granulated sugar. The fat content is meant to help keep your body in the state of ketosis, while still enjoying life’s little pleasures. This is by far our favorite low-carb cheesecake bite recipe. It’s ready in just 10 minutes, with no-baking necessary. It can even be made ahead so treats are ready to enjoy chilled from the fridge or freezer whenever a craving hits! We’ve kept things simple to get you started, and have topped these no-bake keto cheesecake bites with just a bit of shaving chocolate. However, you can totally mix things up by adding in cocoa powder for chocolate keto cheesecake bites, or lemon zest for lemon cheesecake fat bombs.
Ingredients You Need
Cream cheese – room temperature Butter – room temperature Erythritol sweetener – a keto-friendly sugar alternative Heavy whipping cream – for a rich, decadent flavor that’s still low carb Vanilla extract – creates the perfect cheesecake-like “baked goods” flavor Salt – just a pinch to help cut the sweetness
Plus your preferred garnishes: We make this low carb cheesecake bites recipe with shaved dark chocolate for a bit of sweet and bitter flavor that pairs great with the cream cheese!
How to Make Cream Cheese Fat Bombs
Pro Tip: You can also transfer the smooth cheesecake filling mixture to a piping bag (or zipper plastic bag with the corner snipped). Then pipe equal amounts into the mini muffin liners for a clean presentation. Keep reading for some of our suggestions for best cheesecake bites toppings! Then serve, or move the fat bombs to an airtight container and continue to refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recipe Variations
I’ve made these keto cheesecake bites moderately sweet by using 5 tablespoons of sweetener. Feel free to add 1-3 more tablespoons of erythritol for sweeter treats. Make chocolate cheesecake bites by adding 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened chocolate powder. Add lemon zest or lime zest when blending the cream cheese mixture to make the fat bombs with a bright citrus flavor. As-is this keto dessert recipe makes 24 mini cheesecake bites. Easily halve or double the ingredients for more or less fat bombs as needed.
Best Low Carb Cheesecake Toppings
