- Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the bowl and beat until well-blended.
Step 2
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/8 of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of granular Swerve sweetener and beat for 2 minutes.

Ways To Use Leftover Ingredients

- Cream: Blue Cheese Dressing, Strawberry Milkshake, Crustless Pizza Quiche
- Sweetener: Lime Posset, Chocolate Truffles, Peach Crisp
- Vanilla: Peach Dutch Baby, Banana Cream Pie, Vanilla Ice Cream

Sweeteners To Use In Fat Bombs
Tip: I love using Swerve sweetener because this dry sweetener has a 1:1 substitution ratio for granulated sugar. I also like the taste.
- You can also use Stevia but it is sweeter than regular sugar so you may want to add less.
- If you use pure erythritol, you'll want to use more sweetener than called for in the recipe.
The bottom line is: if you want to substitute a different sweetener, use just a little at first and taste the cream mixture. Add more or less sweetener to suit your taste.
Optional Fat Bomb Addition
- You might consider adding in 1 ounce of strawberries. Use fresh strawberries or if frozen, thaw the strawberries first.
Mash the strawberries in a small bowl and add the mashed berries to the cream cheese/cream mixture.
Keto Fat Bombs Variations
You might like to consider adding:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Nut butters
- Blackberries or blueberries
- Lemon juice

Are the keto fat bombs required to be stored in the freezer? Or just to cool them?
I like to keep mine in the freezer. You can store them in the fridge but they will soften – still delicious, just softer.
I am gathering recipes for a keto diet so that I can begin soon. Thanks! This one looks wonderful!
Is a serving considered one bomb? So each one has 67cal and 3g carbs? Thanks
Hi Melanie,
Yes, 67 calories for one. The calories come from the heavy cream – high in calories but low in carbs, that’s why it works in low carb diets.
