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!  You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!

Description

These Keto Fudge Fat Bombs are low-carb, paleo-compliant, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan. Enjoy one (or a couple!) for a delicious midday snack or after-dinner dessert.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To a small saucepan over medium heat, add SunButter and coconut oil. Allow ingredients to soften and melt, stirring regularly to combine. Once melted, add remaining ingredients and stir until well-combined.
  2. Allow mixture to cool slightly before taste testing to determine if additional sweetener is needed. Add additional monk fruit sweetener as desired, depending on your taste preferences.
  3. Place silicone mold atop a cutting board or baking sheet (one that will fit in your freezer and be able to sit flat). Pour mixture into silicone mold cavities and then transfer silicone mold with cutting board/baking sheet beneath it to the freezer to chill until solidified, about 2-3 hours, before removing fat bombs from silicone mold cavities.

Recipe Notes:

Where You Can Buy Monk Fruit Sweetener: I purchase mine from Lakanto 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.

Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener Substitution: Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener, erythritol, or Swerve can be subbed in here at a 1:1 ratio. If you use any of these granulated sweeteners, I would suggest pulsing it in a food processor to powder it, although this isn’t essential. You can use powdered stevia or liquid stevia, but I cannot advise of the exact amount as all brands have very different potency. I personally have made these with pure stevia, which is VERY sweet in very small amounts. I would suggest starting with only 1/4 tsp if you’re using pure stevia, taste testing, and adding more based on your taste preferences.

SunButter Substitution: If you can eat nuts, unsweetened creamy peanut butter or unsweetened creamy almond butter can be substituted for SunButter at a 1:1 ratio.

Coconut Oil Substitution: If you eat dairy, butter can be used in place of coconut oil at a 1:1 ratio.

Coconut Flour Substitution: Almond flour should be able to be substituted for coconut flour, but you will need to adjust the ratios. For the ⅓ cup of coconut flour the recipe calls for, you will likely need to use closer to 1 cup of almond flour. I cannot test this substitution for you because of my allergies, but I think this should work.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Substitution: 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 change.

Where You Can Find Silicone Molds: I personally used this silicone mold with round cavities (these came in a set of 2) and this silicone mold with rectangular cavities (I purchased 2 of these), both of which I bought from Amazon.

Net Carbs: There are 0.9 grams of net carbs per serving. 1 fat bomb is equivalent to 1 serving. Net carbs are calculated by taking the total carb content, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

Refrigerator Storage: Store fat bombs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Depending on the temperature of your refrigerator, the fat bombs may get too soft. If that happens, I would suggest storing them in your freezer based on the recommendations listed below.

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.

    I really want to try the recipe but wondered if I could substitute blanched almond flour for the coconut flour? Thank you!

      I think that should work, but you’ll likely need to add more than the original recipe calls for because the absorbency rates of those flours are very different. Unfortunately, I can’t suggest exactly how much almond flour to use as I can’t test it due to my allergies. If you try it, I’d love for you to let me know how it goes!

    Outstanding! I actually just spread the mix into a glass cake pan and froze, then cut to serve. Easy peasy and so delicious!

    I’m confused by the carb count: the recipe references
    1.4 g per serving but the nutritional information at the bottom says 3.4 g per serving. Which is correct?

    I think the cocoa you use here plays a HUGE role in how your bombs turn out. I use Barry Extra Brute (dutch processed) with 22-24% fat. It is very bitter itself and with the monkfruit sweetener, these bombs kind of taste metallicy. Additionally, they do not harden very well. I ended up pouring them into cupcake liners in muffin trays and chucking them in the freezer for 15-30 minutes so they could FINALLY harden and transfer to the fridge in an airtight container. It requires fast work. I keep my house at 75 degrees and they quickly turn to liquid in the summer it seems. Also, the almond butter doesn’t work well with the other flavors (again, probably due to my cocoa). I would recommend peanut butter instead and maybe at a 1.25-1.5 cups instead of just 1 cup.

    Thanks for posting your recipe. I am not a fan of it. The mixture was super liquidy. The freezer helped some, ended up leaving over night to get more solid, but not enough to make balls, way too wet and sticky. The mixture defrosts too fast and just goes back to liquid. I ended up pouring in a 1/2 in baking sheet to salvage it, and made into squares. As other comments stated it is very bitter, although I personally don’t mind that, but needs to be modified if you are looking to get some sweetness. Also, I found it to be very grainy/chalky. I think the suggestion of adding unsweetened coconut may help thicken it some, Keeping Sharing your recipes 🙂

    VERY disappointed. I always use the best ingredients I can find and they were wasted here. I made the recipe as called for. Found it bitter. Added almond extract as I had used almond butter. Added a little more sweetener and threw the whole thing away. I am on a weight loss diet and I don’t want to waste my food intake on something so bad

    We rolled some of ours in shredded coconut (unsweetened). Gives them a little crunch! You can also put some unsweetened shredded coconut and monk fruit sweetener into the food processor. We rolled some in the powder before returning to the freezer!

    Loved these fudge fat bombs. I was craving ice cream and then remembered I had these. They hit the spot and kept me on track.
