Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup (50g) erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener

1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: cocoa powder, unsweetened shredded coconut, or crushed nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until the blend is smooth and creamy, ensuring you break down any lumps for a velvety texture.

    Sweeten It Up: Gradually add the erythritol (or your chosen keto sweetener), unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the creamy mixture. If you opted for the cinnamon, sprinkle it in at this stage. Continue mixing until all ingredients are thoroughly blended, and the mixture fluffs up, becoming light and airy.

      Chill the Mixture: Once everything is well combined, cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. This step will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to scoop.

        Shape the Fat Bombs: After chilling, retrieve the bowl from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls between your palms. Alternatively, for creative shapes, you can use silicone molds. Continue this process until all of the mixture has been formed into fat bombs.

          Add Toppings (Optional): For an extra explosion of flavor or texture, take some of the formed fat bombs and roll them in your choice of cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts. This will add a delightful finish and enhance the overall experience.

            Chill Again: Once all your fat bombs are shaped and any toppings are added, arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Return the tray to the refrigerator or freezer until the fat bombs are fully set and firm to the touch, which should take about 1 hour.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once ready, transfer the fat bombs to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for longer shelf life. Savor these keto fat bombs as a quick and delicious snack whenever the craving strikes!
