Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed into powder)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Method:
-
Prep Your Ingredients:
- Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature.
- If you don’t have strawberry powder, you can crush freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder using a food processor or blender.
-
Blend the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and melted coconut oil.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
-
Add Sweetener & Flavor:
- Add the powdered erythritol (or any sweetener you prefer), the vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Then, add the crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a smooth, pinkish color.
-
Shape the Fat Bombs:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use silicone molds for easy removal.
- Scoop the mixture using a spoon or small cookie scoop and roll them into balls. You can also press the mixture into silicone molds if you prefer a more uniform shape.
- You should end up with about 12-14 fat bombs, depending on size.
-
Chill and Set:
- Place the fat bombs on the baking sheet or in the molds and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until they firm up.
- If you’re in a rush, you can also freeze them for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
-
Serve & Store:
- Once set, remove the fat bombs from the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
- Store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
