These Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs are soft, fudgy, and intensely chocolatey – made with cream cheese, butter, sugar-free dark chocolate, nut butter, and fiber-rich coconut flour.
They come together in minutes and require no baking. The texture is smooth and cheesecake-like, not hard or waxy like coconut oil-based versions.

What Are Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs are small, high-fat, low-carb snacks commonly used in ketogenic eating.
In this version, instead of relying heavily on coconut oil, we use cream cheese and butter for a smoother, cheesecake-like texture. Coconut flour adds fiber and structure.
The result: rich chocolate bites that feel indulgent but stay low in carbs.
Ingredients
- 4 oz (115 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter (or peanut, almond, or hazelnut butter)
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)
- 2 oz (55 g) sugar-free dark chocolate, melted
- ¼ cup coconut flour
Optional: extra melted chocolate for drizzling, chopped nuts, sea salt flakes
How To Make Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add nut butter and powdered sweetener. Mix until creamy.
- Stir in melted dark chocolate.
- Add coconut flour and mix until a thick, soft dough forms.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate 30 minutes until firm.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Texture Notes
These are:
• Soft and fudgy from the fridge

For firmer texture, freeze 15-20 minutes before serving.
Variations
• Replace nut butter with 1 additional tablespoon butter for nut-free version
• Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Add ¼ teaspoon espresso powder for mocha flavor
• Stir in orange zest for a chocolate-orange variation (link to your ranking post here)

I’ve heard of fat bombs before and these sound delicious! I’m loving all of your keto recipes, Mira! I hope your diet is going well. I’ve got to try these, and those strawberry ones, too!
Do I have to put the coconut flour in the fat bombs. This recipe sounds delicious but I don’t like any of the flours that are on the keto diet ?
Yes it goes in the fat bombs. Maybe you can look up some recipes that don’t use any flours. If I create any, I’ll share.
