Shopping List

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of fine sea salt
• Optional: 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for firmer texture)
• Optional: 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (for silkier texture)
• Optional garnish: freeze-dried strawberry crumble or unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Prep the strawberries. If using fresh berries, hull and chop them. If using frozen, thaw completely and drain any excess liquid. Pat dry with a paper towel to prevent a watery batter.
2. Blend the base. In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and butter.

   Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.

3. Sweeten and flavor. Add powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Beat again until well combined and lightly whipped. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
4. Add the strawberries. Mash the strawberries with a fork or pulse them in a food processor to your desired consistency.

   Stir into the cream mixture. For a smoother texture, blend fully; for a chunkier bite, fold in gently.

5. Adjust texture. If you want a firmer fat bomb (great for hot climates), beat in coconut oil. For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream and mix until silky.
6. Scoop and shape. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

   Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into 1–1.5 tablespoon mounds. If you prefer, pipe the mixture into silicone molds.

7. Chill. Freeze for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate for 2–3 hours, until set and firm enough to handle.
8. Garnish (optional). Lightly crush a few freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle on top, or roll in unsweetened coconut.
9. Serve. Enjoy straight from the fridge for a creamy bite or from the freezer for a firmer, ice-cream-like texture.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Keep them chilled for the best texture and flavor.
• Freezer: Freeze in a lidded container for up to 2 months.

  Let sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before eating for easier biting.

• Separation tip: If you notice slight separation after a few days, it’s normal. Just keep them cold and handle gently.

Health Benefits

• Keto-friendly macros: High fat and low net carbs support ketosis and steady energy.
• Strawberries add vitamins: A small amount brings vitamin C, antioxidants, and bright flavor with minimal carbs.
• Satisfying fats: Cream cheese and butter help curb sugar cravings and keep you full between meals.
• Controlled sweetness: Using non-nutritive sweeteners helps you enjoy dessert without the blood sugar spike.

What Not to Do

• Don’t use granulated sweetener without powdering it. Grainy sweetener won’t dissolve well and leaves a gritty texture. Use powdered or blitz it in a blender first.
• Don’t add wet strawberries. Excess juice makes the mixture runny and icy when frozen.

  Drain and pat dry.

• Don’t skip softening the dairy. Cold cream cheese and butter won’t blend smoothly and can form lumps.
• Don’t sweeten before tasting the berries. Some strawberries are sweeter than others. Start with less sweetener and adjust.
• Don’t leave them at room temperature. They’ll soften too much and lose their shape, especially in warm kitchens.

Recipe Variations

• Strawberry Cheesecake Bites: Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and a splash of lemon juice. Swirl in a little extra mashed strawberry for that cheesecake vibe.
• Chocolate-Dipped: After chilling, dip the tops in melted sugar-free dark chocolate.

  Return to the fridge to set.

• Coconut-Strawberry: Replace 2 tablespoons of butter with coconut oil and roll the set bombs in unsweetened shredded coconut.
• Protein Boost: Mix in 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla whey isolate. Add a tablespoon of heavy cream if the mixture gets too thick.
• Dairy-Free: Use vegan cream cheese and coconut oil instead of butter. The texture will be slightly softer but still delicious.
• Extra Fruity: Fold in a few finely chopped freeze-dried strawberries for concentrated flavor without extra moisture.

FAQ

How many carbs are in each fat bomb?

Per fat bomb, you’re typically looking at about 1–2 net carbs, depending on the size and sweetener.

Using powdered allulose or erythritol and measuring strawberries carefully keeps carbs low.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes. Powdered erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blends all work well. Avoid liquid stevia as the aftertaste can be strong; if you use it, pair with a powdered sweetener for better flavor and texture.

Do I need a food processor?

No.

A hand mixer or sturdy whisk works fine. Mash the berries with a fork and beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Why are my fat bombs too soft?

They may have too much moisture from the strawberries or not enough time to chill. Add 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil for structure and freeze a little longer.

Can I make them without strawberries?

Absolutely.

Swap strawberries for raspberries or use a few drops of strawberry extract and skip the fruit for an ultra-low-carb version.

Are these suitable for diabetics?

They’re low in sugar and made with non-nutritive sweeteners, which many people with diabetes use. Still, individual responses vary, so monitor your blood glucose as needed.

In Conclusion

Strawberry Keto Fat Bombs are simple, reliable, and satisfy a sweet tooth without breaking your carb budget. With basic ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you’ll have a creamy treat ready whenever cravings hit.
