How to make chocolate cream cheese fat bombs

  • Fat Bombs: In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese until whipped. Then, add in melted butter and SunButter and mix again, starting at the lowest speed before increasing the mixer to the highest mixer speed until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Mix in powdered monk fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap and transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
  • Remove the mixing bowl from the refrigerator and form the mixture into balls or scoop and flatten into silicone mold cavities.
  • Transfer the fat bombs to the refrigerator to chill for 1 additional hour.
  • Cocoa Powder Coating: After the fat bombs have chilled, in a shallow dish, whisk together cocoa powder and powdered monk fruit sweetener before individually rolling the fat bombs in the cocoa powder mixture.

Ingredient substitutions for chocolate truffle fat bombs

  • Cream Cheese: I’ve tested substituting cream cheese with canned coconut milk at a 1:1 ratio in this recipe, and it worked great. Another option, if you consume nuts, is almond milk cream cheese, which is also a 1:1 substitution ratio.
  • Butter: Coconut oil can be subbed for butter at a 1:1 ratio. Note that this substitution will change the resulting texture, and the fat bombs will melt quicker.
  • No-Sugar-Added SunButter: If you can eat nuts, unsweetened creamy peanut butter or unsweetened creamy almond butter can be substituted for SunButter at a 1:1 ratio.
  • Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener: Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener, Swerve, or erythritol can be used at a 1:1 substitution ratio. I would suggest powdering these in a food processor or blender to avoid the resulting fat bomb texture from being grainy, especially for the cocoa powder coating mixture. Though this isn’t essential, I would recommend it. Powdered stevia should work, but I cannot recommend how much to use as each brand is very different; if you go this route, start with a minimal amount, taste test, and add more as desired. Liquid stevia will not work in this recipe.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Carob powder can be used as a 1:1 ratio substitute for cocoa powder. If you make this switch, note that the flavor of carob powder is not identical to that of chocolate, and the carb content will increase.
  • Coconut Flour: Almond flour should be able to be substituted for coconut flour, but you will need to adjust the ratios. The recipe calls for ½ cup of coconut flour; you will need to use more than 1 ½ cup of almond flour. I cannot test this substitution for you because of my allergies, but I think this should work. For a coconut-free and nut-free option, try using ground sunflower seed meal and follow the ratio suggestions listed for almond flour.

Keep in mind any changes you make to this recipe will modify the total net carbs.

Chocolate truffle fat bomb FAQs

How big should the chocolate truffle fat bombs be?

To yield 24 fat bombs, each fat bomb should weigh between 26g-28g.

Can I use a silicone mold instead of rolling these truffles into balls?

Yes! You can use a silicone mold to shape your truffles if you prefer. Simply press the mixture into the mold, then refrigerate until firm.

Is this chocolate truffle fat bomb recipe gluten-free?

Yes, if prepared as the recipe is written, this recipe is gluten-free.

Do I have to roll chocolate fat bombs in the cocoa powder coating?

No. You don’t have to roll them in cocoa powder, but I think it makes them look and taste like little chocolate truffles. The nutritional info will differ if you omit this step.

How do I store chocolate truffle fat bombs?

Store fat bombs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. To freeze, store fat bombs in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I would suggest laying them in layers and separating the layers with sheets of parchment paper to avoid them all sticking together. When you’re ready to eat them, pull out the amount you want and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to thaw slightly before eating.

Description

These Chocolate Truffle Fat Bombs feature ingredients like SunButter, cream cheese, and cocoa powder and are combined to make delectable little fat bomb treats. They’re rich, decadent, and satisfying as a dessert or on-the-go snack with only 1.4 grams of net carbs per serving!

Ingredients

Cocoa Powder Coating:

Instructions

  1. Fat Bombs: In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix cream cheese until whipped. Add melted butter and SunButter and mix again, starting at lowest speed before increasing mixer to highest mixer speed until thoroughly incorporated. Mix in powdered monk fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Cover mixing bowl with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap and transfer bowl to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
  2. Remove mixing bowl from refrigerator and form mixture into balls or scoop and flatten into silicone mold cavities. Transfer fat bombs to the refrigerator to chill for 1 additional hour.
  3. Cocoa Powder Coating: After fat bombs have chilled, in a shallow dish, whisk together cocoa powder and powdered monk fruit sweetener. Individually roll fat bombs in cocoa powder mixture.

Recipe Notes:

Where You Can Purchase Monk Fruit Sweetener: I purchase mine from Lakanto’s website and have it delivered. If you want to do this, you can use discount code REALBALANCED at checkout for 20% OFF your Lakanto order. If you’d rather purchase monk fruit sweetener in a store, many grocery stores, especially specialty stores and Costco, carry Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener.

Using A Silicone Mold Instead Of Rolling Fat Bombs Into Balls: This will work just fine. Silicone molds are sold on Amazon and at many kitchen supply stores. The one I most commonly use is this silicone mold with round cavities.

Weight Of Each Fat Bomb: To yield 24 fat bombs, each fat bomb should weigh between 26g-28g.

Net Carbs: Per serving, there are 1.4 grams of net carbs. One serving is equivalent to 1 fat bomb and the recipe, as written, yields 24 fat bombs. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

Refrigerator Storage: Store fat bombs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freezer Storage: Store fat bombs in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I would suggest laying them in layers and separating the layers with sheets of parchment paper to avoid them all sticking together. When you’re ready to eat them, pull out the amount you want and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly thaw before eating.

    Haven’t made this yet, but I want to! I’m lactose-intolerant however…what would be a good alternative to the cream cheese?

    These are wonderful! The only problem I have is the crunchiness from the sugar. Can I use a confectioners type of sweetener like Swerve makes?

      Yep! Or, you can simply pulse granulated sweetener in a high-speed blender or food processor to powder it.
