I’m a weirdo and don’t like chocolate, peanut butter, or coffee, so sometimes finding a homemade, keto-friendly dessert can be really hard.

Back to desserts.
I stumbled across this cheesecake fat bomb recipe from Keto-Mojo and am hooked! They’re just the right amount of sweet with all the fatty flavor you could want.
Plus, they’re full of healthy ingredients that I know will help optimally fuel my body and brain.
Okay, okay, I’ll stop rambling and get to the good stuff.
Keto Cheesecake Fat Bombs
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature (I used Kite Hill almond-based cream cheese)
- 8 Tbsp (4 oz) grass-fed butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered erythritol-based sweetener (I used this one)
- 2 Tbsp fine almond meal (like this)
- 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp pure almond extract
- ½ cup toasted almonds, finely chopped
Directions:
- To toast the almonds, spread almonds out on a sheet pan and bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool and chop with a knife or food processor. I used my Ninja smoothie blender.
- Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and butter and beat until combined. Add the sweetener, almond meal, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat until smooth.
- Scoop or hand roll 24 (1 tablespoon-size) balls of the cheesecake mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. I used the smallest of this set. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the chopped toasted almonds in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Roll each chilled ball in the nuts to coat, roll it in the palms of your hand reshape it into a ball, then roll in the nuts again and return it to the prepared baking sheet. Hint: I actually only rolled them once and they were amazing.
- Refrigerate the fat bombs for 30 minutes to set. Keep refrigerated until use.
Here’s what mine ended up looking like.
Don’t they look delicious?
