What Are Keto Fudge Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs have become top keto snacks choice at home. We tend to eat a higher fat and lower carb diet due in part to the satiating effect of fat, but mostly due to the fact that fat just plain tastes REALLY GOOD. Fat bombs are high-fat bites of goodness that are perfect for your low-carb, ketogenic diet!
Whether you just need a small snack to keep you satiated between meals or if you have a craving for sweets, fat bombs are going to be your new best friend! In our house, we always have these Fudge Fat Bombs on-hand because I love to enjoy one as an after-dinner treat!
You can sweeten these Fudge Fat Bombs with either pure stevia or, my personal favorite, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener!
Fudge Fat Bombs Sweetened with Stevia
Stevia is a sweetener that is derived from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana. It contains 0 calories, 0 grams of carbohydrates, and rates at a 0 on the glycemic index, making it a safe option for diabetics.
NOTE: For this recipe, the stevia I used is VERY POTENT. A little bit goes a very long way. So, if you choose to use stevia but use a different brand, you will likely need to add more.
Fudge Fat Bombs Sweetened with Monk Fruit Sweetener
In this recipe, like in a majority of my keto dessert recipes and fat bomb recipes, I prefer to use monk fruit sweetener. Like that of stevia, monk fruit sweetener contains 0 calories, 0 grams of net carbohydrates, and rates at a 0 on the glycemic index, making it another safe option for ketogenic dieters and diabetics.
I personally include Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener in my diet every day as I prefer its flavor and texture over stevia. I have been following a ketogenic diet for quite some time and monk fruit sweetener has allowed me to enjoy desserts, fat bombs, and baked goods while continually remaining in ketosis.
If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, vegan, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener!

Description
These Fudge Fat Bombs are the ultimate ketogenic dessert! This recipe is keto, low-carb, paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, refined-sugar-free, and contains only 1.4 grams of net carbs per serving!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter or, for nut-free, No-Sugar-Added SunButter Sunflower Butter
- 1 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp powdered stevia (see note below) OR 1–2 tbsp classic monk fruit sweetener, depending on sweetness preference (use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off Lakanto brand products!)
- 1/16 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Optional Material
Instructions
- Over medium heat in a small pot, melt and combine almond butter and coconut oil. To the same pot, add dried ingredients and stir until well-combined.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly and taste test to determine if additional sweetener is needed. Add more as necessary depending on your preferences.
- Pour mixture into bowl and transfer to freezer to solidify, approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on the temperature of your freezer OR pour into silicone mold (if you choose to use a silicone mold, skip steps #4 and #5 and just allow the fat bombs to solidify in freezer, about 2-3 hours).
- Once solidified, remove bowl from freezer and form into balls. Tip: regularly wash hands under cold water and wipe with dry paper towel to avoid coconut oil melting in hands. Place formed balls on a flat tray or plate and return to freezer for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
Almond Butter Substitution: For a nut-free recipe, use No-Sugar-Added SunButter. If you can consume nuts, peanut butter works great here, too.
Stevia: If you use stevia and use a brand that is different than the one I have linked here, you may need to add more. The brand of stevia that I use in this recipe is VERY potent and a little bit goes a very long way! If you do use a different brand, I recommend taste testing the mixture while it is still in liquid form and adding more sweetener if necessary.
Storage: Store fat bombs in airtight container in the freezer. When you want one, pop one out, allow to thaw for a few minutes, and eat up!

I wish I’d realized how nutty these would taste, I wouldn’t have bothered. 🙁 If you like Reese’s, you’ll probably love these. If you wanted actual *fudge*, find a different recipe.
Still, they were easy to make and I can see how someone else would like them, so I can’t dock the recipe too many stars.
I wish the recipe were titled “Almond Fudge Fat Bombs”, it’d be more accurate.
★★★
Can peanut butter be used instead of almond butter?
★★★
Yes, it can be.
Love the fudge fat bombs
So glad you enjoy them, Andrea!
Can I substitute cocoa powder with cacao powder ?
That should work! But, note that the carb content will increase significantly.
Not my favorite fat bomb. They started to melt within seconds of coming out of the freezer. Liquid chocolate fat isn’t very appetizing.

Sandra, this recipe is made with my vegan, paleo, and/or dairy-free readers in mind, which doesn’t allow for the use of cream cheese, which holds shape better than coconut oil. The issue you were having is an easy fix though: keep them in the freezer a little longer. Your kitchen may have been a little warmer or your ingredients could have been heated up a little hotter. Simply freezing them longer will avoid melting. It sounds like you would prefer some of my other fat bomb recipes that are cream cheese-based.
Oh no what did I do wrong? I followed the instructions and put it in the freezer, and the top got completely solid but underneath is still liquid. If I leave it longer it will all be solid, so I’m not sure how to form the balls…
If the mixture is too hot and then is placed in the freezer, this can happen. Allow the mixture to fully solidify, but not freeze, and then use a spoon to scoop the solidified mixture out before forming into balls.
I’m new to all this.. So nut free doesn’t mean coconut free? I’m allergic to coconut and almonds… Saw the Nut free category and got all excited.. But…
I follow what the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology says, which is that coconuts are not a tree nut, but are rather a fruit (a drupe). Many people with peanut and tree nut allergies (like me, which are life-threatening) can safely eat coconuts. Of course, not everyone is like this, which it sounds like you fall into that category. To make this recipe nut-free and coconut-free, sub unsalted butter for coconut oil and altogether omit the coconut flour, but make sure to make the fat bombs in a silicone mold (not rolling into balls). Enjoy!
