Ingredient Notes
See recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Cream cheese and heavy cream: These ingredients are low in carbs and they give these cream cheese fat bombs their smooth, velvety texture.
- Sweetener: I use a low carb sweetener like Swerve sweetener. This ingredient can be found in the baking aisle, near the packages of sugar in most grocery stores. It can also be found on Amazon.
- Vanilla extract: For flavor.
- Ground cinnamon: This ingredient helps give the fat bombs their "snickerdoodle" flavor.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat 4 ounces of softened cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl until soft.

Step 2

Step 4

Expert Tips
- I love using Swerve sweetener because this dry sweetener has a 1:1 substitution ratio for granulated sugar. I also like the taste. 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.
- 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.
- You might consider adding in 1 ounce of strawberries. Use fresh strawberries or if frozen, thaw the strawberries first. To do this, mash the strawberries in a small bowl and add the mashed berries to the cream cheese/cream mixture.

Are the keto fat bombs required to be stored in the freezer? Or just to cool them?
Joanie Zisk says
I like to keep mine in the freezer. You can store them in the fridge but they will soften - still delicious, just softer.
Barbara says
I am gathering recipes for a keto diet so that I can begin soon. Thanks! This one looks wonderful!
Melanie says
Is a serving considered one bomb? So each one has 67cal and 3g carbs? Thanks
Joanie Zisk says
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.
