Yields: Approximately 6-8 servings (about 1.5 cups) Prep time: 10 minutes Chill time: 2 hours (for fat bombs, optional for dip)
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4 ounces (1 stick or ½ cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute (or your preferred brown sugar erythritol blend)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s, ChocZero, or your favorite keto-friendly brand)
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons almond flour (for a slightly firmer, more “doughy” texture, if desired)
Equipment:
- Medium mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment
- Rubber spatula
- Small bowls or dessert cups (for dipping)
- Cookie scoop (optional, for fat bombs)
- Lined baking sheet (for fat bombs)
Instructions:
- Soften Butter & Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened to room temperature. If they’re not, place them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, checking and stirring after each, until just soft (do not melt completely).
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add Sweetener & Flavor: Add the Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute, vanilla extract, and salt to the creamed butter and cream cheese mixture.
- Continue to beat on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and all ingredients are well combined. If using, mix in the optional almond flour at this stage.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Serve or Chill:
- As a Dip: Spoon the Keto Cookie Dough into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with keto-friendly cookies or as a delightful spoonful.
- As Fat Bombs: Use a cookie scoop to form small balls (like traditional cookie dough balls) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours to harden, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- Enjoy! This no-bake treat is ready to delight your taste buds!
Tips for Success:
- Properly Softened Ingredients: This is key for a smooth, lump-free cookie dough. Avoid melting the butter and cream cheese, just soften them.
- Sweetener Choice: Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute is excellent for mimicking brown sugar flavor. Other granular erythritol blends might work but may have a slightly different texture or cooling effect.
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: There are many great keto-friendly brands available (Lily’s, ChocZero, Bake Believe, etc.).
- Optional Almond Flour: Adding a small amount of almond flour can make the texture even more like traditional cookie dough, but it’s not strictly necessary.
- Storage: Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Fat bombs can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
