These beautiful Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs are made with just 5 ingredients and perfect for a keto snack anytime!
FAT BOMBS
If you’re new to the keto diet, fat bombs might not sound like something you want to eat. But fat, healthy fats that is, are the key to staying satiated on a low carb, moderate protein, high fat keto diet.When you are depriving your body of carbs, you no longer will be using carbs for fuel. The keto diet is about using fat for fuel. The sooner you get into ketosis the sooner you will start using your own body fat for fuel. So adding in healthy fats isn’t a crazy idea after all because it becomes your fuel source.
You can learn more about the difference between a low carb diet versus a keto diet here.
EASY CHEESECAKE FAT BOMBS
These fat bombs are so very easy with just a few ingredients. If you want to swap out the strawberry with blueberry or raspberry that would be absolutely fine. The cream cheese makes these ultra creamy and the roasting of the strawberries takes on deep rich flavor. I have other fat bombs you might like as well; Blackberry (Dairy Free) Fat Bombs, Red Velvet Cheesecake Truffles, Lemon Cheesecake Truffles, and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles!
SUGAR FREE SWEETENER OPTIONS
Aren’t they the prettiest fat bombs you almost don’t want to eat? No seriously, I want to eat all of these!
Feel free to swap out the tiny bit of sweetener used here if you’re not a fan of Swerve. I’d probably use some berry flavored liquid stevia since that’s what I’m partial to in creamy desserts like this, but honestly you can use what you like.
Other low carb sweeteners I enjoy are Lakanto Monk Fruit, Better than Sugar Confectioners sweetener by Sweetleaf and Allulose, my new favorite in the liquid form!
Simply add only a very small amount, taste and adjust as needed before piping. You could also not pipe these and just make them in a silicone mold for an easier method. Either way, they are quite literally the bomb!

Recipe Notes
This recipe was first published in March 2019 and updated with video in March 2021.
I was wondering if I could use frozen strawberries instead of fresh – if so how could I adapt it please
I would say you would need to thaw the frozen ones first.
Hello! These look delicious. Do you think butter would work in place of the coconut oil?
Great Sharing
Hello,
What can be used instead of coconut oil?
Thanks
I think butter would also work.
Hi. Do you know what the protein count was in these?
None in one serving, that’s why you can’t see any protein listed.
