Yields: Approximately 12-16 fat bombs (depending on size of baking cups) Prep time: 15 minutes Freeze time: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Fat Bombs:
- 8 ounces (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened, natural almond butter (no sugar added)
- ½ cup Swerve Sweetener (granular or confectioners, depending on desired texture)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream (HWC)
- 1 ½ ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons Swerve Sweetener (confectioners recommended for frosting)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Equipment:
- Medium mixing bowl
- Electric mixer (hand mixer or stand mixer) or sturdy whisk
- Small mixing bowl (for frosting)
- Mini muffin liners or silicone baking cups (highly recommended for easy removal)
- Muffin tin or small tray for holding baking cups
Instructions:
Part 1: Prepare the Fat Bombs
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, unsweetened almond butter, ½ cup Swerve Sweetener, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer (hand mixer or stand mixer) or a sturdy whisk, beat all the ingredients together until they are completely smooth, light, and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Line a muffin tin with mini muffin liners or place silicone baking cups on a small tray.
- Evenly spoon or scoop the fat bomb mixture into the prepared baking cups.
Part 2: Prepare the Frosting
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, 1 ½ ounces softened cream cheese, 2 teaspoons Swerve Sweetener, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk or stir until the frosting ingredients are completely smooth and creamy.
Part 3: Assemble & Chill
- Spoon or dollop a small amount of the prepared frosting onto the top of each fat bomb in the baking cups. You can swirl it with a toothpick if desired for a decorative touch.
- Place the tray with the fat bombs into the freezer for 30-60 minutes, or until they are completely firm and set.
Enjoy! Once firm, remove from the freezer and peel off the liners. Store leftover fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator (for softer texture) or freezer (for firmer texture).
Tips for Success:
- Softened Ingredients are Key: Ensure all cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature for the smoothest, lump-free fat bomb and frosting mixtures.
- Sweetener Type: For the fat bombs, granular Swerve works well, but if you prefer a smoother texture, using confectioners Swerve will result in an even creamier consistency. For the frosting, confectioners Swerve is highly recommended for a smooth finish.
- Almond Butter Quality: Use natural, unsweetened almond butter. Check the ingredients list to ensure no added sugars or unhealthy oils.
- Don’t Skimp on Freezing: Allowing them to freeze until completely set makes them easy to handle and gives them the proper fat bomb texture.
- Storage: Fat bombs will soften if left at room temperature for too long. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for daily enjoyment, or in the freezer for longer storage. They can be enjoyed directly from the freezer or allowed to soften slightly.
