What Ingredients Do You Need?
Cream cheese
The base of most of my fat bomb recipes. It creates that smooth, cheesecake-like texture.
Powdered keto sweetener
Powdered works best. Granular sweetener may leave a slightly gritty texture.
Coconut butter
One of my favorite ingredients. It adds richness and natural coconut flavor. It also helps firm up the fat bombs once frozen.
If you don’t have coconut butter, you can substitute softened unsalted butter. The flavor will be less coconut-forward, but still good.
Coconut oil
Adds structure and helps the bombs firm up in the freezer.
Fresh lemon juice
Adds brightness and freshness.
Lemon zest
Do not skip this. The zest carries most of the citrus aroma and flavor without adding extra carbs.

Coconut Butter vs Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is extracted oil from coconut meat.
Coconut butter is made from ground coconut flesh, so it contains fiber and has a richer, slightly sweet coconut flavor.
I personally love coconut butter and use it in smoothies and keto desserts whenever I can. It makes these lemon fat bombs extra creamy and flavorful.
How to Make Keto Lemon Fat Bombs
These are very easy to prepare.
You’ll need:
- A mixing bowl
- An electric mixer (or food processor)
- A silicone mold
- Optional piping bag for cleaner filling
Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese, sweetener and coconut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add melted coconut oil, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Beat again until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer mixture into a piping bag.
- Pipe into silicone molds.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour, until firm.
- Remove from mold and store in a freezer-safe container.
They should be kept in the freezer for best texture.

Texture & Flavor Tips
- Store in freezer up to 1 month.
- For stronger lemon flavor, add extra zest – not more juice.
- If mixture feels too soft before freezing, chill 10-15 minutes.
- Eat straight from freezer or let sit 3-5 minutes before serving.
What Are Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs are high-fat, low-carb snacks often used by people following a ketogenic lifestyle.
They are typically made with ingredients like cream cheese, butter, coconut oil, nut butters and sweetener.
These lemon fat bombs fall into that category – but they also simply work as a freezer dessert for anyone who enjoys creamy citrus treats.


These are so fresh and delicious!
I made these last night they were sooo good I just made a 2nd batch. 2nd time around I added strawberry protein powder and love them even more.
Great! So glad you liked them!
Can I substitute the coconut oil for the mct oil?
Not sure. If your body handles MCT oil well, I don’t see a reason why you can not substitute.
