Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Almond Cluster Fat Bombs Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener

These fat bombs, like many of my other ketogenic dessert recipes, are sweetened with my favorite sweetener, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener. In this particular recipe, I use Lakanto’s Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, a natural sweetener that contains zero calories and will not spike your blood sugar.

Over the years, I’ve tried maaaaaany keto-friendly sweeteners, and monk fruit sweetener still always wins out in terms of flavor and texture. If you’ve never tried monk fruit sweetener or just need to re-stock your pantry, you can use the code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your Lakanto orders!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Add almonds to baking sheet in an even layer. Bake almonds until toasted, about 10 minutes.
Line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a small glass bowl, add cocoa butter, cocoa powder, heavy whipping cream, and classic monk fruit sweetener.
Using double boiler method on stovetop over low heat, melt ingredients together until chocolate is smooth. Whisk mixture frequently to avoid burning.
Remove melted chocolate from heat and stir in toasted almonds. Spoon chocolate and almond mixture onto prepared baking sheet into desired cluster size. Top clusters with sea salt. (A second baking sheet may be necessary, depending on the size of the baking sheet.)
Allow clusters to sit on baking sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes before transferring baking sheet to refrigerator to chill until hardened, about 25-30 minutes.
Once chocolate has hardened, gently pull parchment paper away away from clusters, serve, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

Nut-Free Substitution: To make this recipe nut-free, substitute raw pumpkin seeds in for almonds at a 1:1 ratio.

Storage: Store clusters in airtight container in the refrigerator.

These are sooo yummy! I have made these three times, and all three times the cocoa butter separates. ( but they still taste good!!). This third time, I think I figured out the secret to keeping it combined; 1. melt on low, no matter how long it takes! 2. Use a whisk to stir and whisk often 3. Work fast, keep whisking! These are worth it!

I don’t do dairy. Can I substitute coconut heavy cream for the whipping cream??

  I’m not sure this would work, and I haven’t tried it so I cannot say for sure. Sorry to not have a better answer for you!

this is the first fat bomb recipe I have tried that I really liked. Yum! I substituted coconut that for whipped cream and it worked out great. Have a lot of trouble melting Lillys chocolate, however. Had to add heat 2 teaspoons of water to thin it. Great recipe. Can’t wait to try more! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the way you have your site set up – from a person with food sensitivities. Cooking is hard enough as it is without having to go through the disappointment of discovering a yummy looking recipe is off limits. I’ll be back for sure

Hi,

These look so good. What can I skip the whipping cream as am trying to do dairy free? Or what can I replace it with?

Thanks

  I’m not sure of a good sub for the whipping cream unfortunately. You can find all of my dairy-free recipes here though!

The Cacao butter separated from the chocolate – no matter how low the temp or how much I whisked – it separated

  Sorry you had trouble, Lori! Did you use a double boiler? If so, it’s important that the water in the pot is low enough that it doesn’t touch the bowl with the chocolate ingredients in it.

    I made this recipe to a t and even ordered the cacao butter you had and it separated from my chocolate no matter what I did. I used the double boiler method and didn’t have any luck… What did I do wrong?!

      Sorry you had trouble, Diana! It’s hard to say exactly what went wrong, but a good way that I’ve found to ensure the chocolate mixture combines and stays together is to whisk in 1-2 tbsp heavy cream; if it is still not combining well, add another 1-2 tbsp until it’s a smooth and creamy melted chocolate.

I exactly followed the recipe (twice) and found that the fat always seems to separate from the chocolate mixture. Any suggestions?

- Sara Nelson says

  I’d venture to say it was because of the temperature change from the time the chocolate was melted to solidified. I’ve had this happen to me before, but never with this particular recipe! Based on this, I think it may either be because of the climate you live in and/or the the temperature of your refrigerator so, in knowing that, while the chocolate clusters are still in melted form, allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before transferring to the refrigerator to fully chill.

Thank you for the recipe. I divided one cup of sliced raw almonds into a silicone mold. I then poured the melted ingredients over the almonds. Frozen, they popped right out and turned out delicious. ?
