What Are Keto Fat Bombs?
It you're wondering what keto fatbombs are, the quick answer is: DELICIOUS.
The slightly longer answer is that they are high fat, low protein, no carb, bite-sized treat that helps those who want to stay in fat burning mode keep their body nourished with enough good-for-you fats.
They can be either sweet or more savory, but the one thing all keto fat bomb recipes have in common is that they are heavy on the healthy fats and little else. Each ingredient has been carefully chosen.
Their high fat content also helps you feel more full longer, so they are a wonderful solution to hunger and cravings. Just grab 2 and be on your way!
While not essential the keto or low carb way of life, they are a great way to indulge without over doing it and get that fat in.
No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bites
If you're a cheesecake lover (like me!), you're going to love how simple this recipe is. You can be enjoying your no-bake mini lemon cheesecakes in a little over an hour.
And the only reason it takes that long is because your keto lemon bites need to chill in the freezer after you make them.
You're basically making a no bake low carb lemon cheesecake and rolling it into balls instead of serving it by the slice. So simple!
If you love the ease of this recipe, be sure to try the no bake frozen strawberry cheesecake bites with chocolate, too.
How To Make Lemon Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs
Making these no bake cheesecake lemon keto fatbombs isn't hard.
No Bake Low Carb Lemon Cheesecake Bites
All you do is mix together your cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Add in the vanilla and lemon juice, mixing it all together well.
Fresh lemon is going to add such a light, refreshing, tart taste to offset the sweet and fat in the recipe. You could also try lime here; both are perfect! Use a light hand when measuring your vanilla and lemon juice so you don't end up with mushy cheesecake batter and too soft fat bombs.
Be sure to use full fat cream cheese, no spreads or low fat options. The same with your butter: full fat, no spreads or low fat options accepted!
Fold your almond flour, sweetener, and coconut flakes until your mix is a dough like consistency.
This recipe uses erythritol as its primary sweetener, but you could also use Gentle Sweet, (just not quite as much).
Making Easy Keto Fat Bombs
Next up, freeze the dough for ten minutes. You want it nice and cold so it's easy to work with when you roll the cheesecake balls.
Use a dough scoop or your hands to roll the dough into 1" balls. Once they're all made, roll them in a mix of low carb confectioner's "sugar" and coconut flakes and that's it.
A dash of lemon zest in the coating would add some lovely color and a tart flavor; only add this if you crave the sour tartness of lemon and don't use too much or it will be bitter. (Here is an awesome zester!)
If you'd like, you can add a drop of yellow coloring to the powdered sweetener to make them more festive if you're serving them for a special occasion.
Place your mini lemon cheesecake bites onto the cookie sheet and freeze them for an hour. This step is important so they don't stick to each other when you store them.
How To Keep Keto Fatbombs
Once you've waited an hour for your keto lemon bites to harden, it's time to put them into airtight storage.
If you like your fat bombs nice and firm, go ahead and store them in a freezer bag or other container in your freezer. This way they'll almost be low carb lemon cheesecake ice cream bites.
However, if you enjoy your lemon cheesecake bites a little creamier, you can keep them in an airtight box in the fridge.

My husband loves lemon but hates coconut. If I skip the coconut would these be just as good?
Thanks!
Sarah Hardy
I believe they would still be ok - the coconut lends some bulk and some texture. You may want to add another Tablespoon or two of almond flour to make up the bulk. But you absolutely don't have to add the coconut to roll them in.
Maggie
Thanks! Can't wait to try them!
ERICA E HARRIS
I just made them and plan to omit the coconut next as well.
Abigail
Just made these only I used lime juice instead of lemon! They are sooo good! Saved my day! Thank you 😊!
Sarah Hardy
That sounds delicious!
Kathy
I wonder if protein powder could be substituted for the coconut?
Sarah Hardy
I haven't tried that, but possibly!
Denise Johnson
Could you use Greek cream cheese?
Sarah Hardy
Yes, that would work fine!
Nikki
I'm wondering if I use 1/3 fat cream cheese would I be able to have 3 peices in a sitting without it going too overboard??
Sarah Hardy
I believe that would be fine!
Jeannette
Thank you for this recipe! I just made these and can hardly wait to enjoy one tomorrow. This is the first dessert I have made since starting my THM journey. Can you please briefly explain how the carb count is so low? I added the fat and carb counts as I prepared the recipe and my count seems to be significantly higher. Again, I’m relatively new to THM and I’m really trying to understand it.
Sarah Hardy
Hi Jeannette - it is likely because of the sugar alcohols. I always subtract the sugar alcohols when calculating carbs. 🙂
Steph
Would this work with coconut flour subbed for the Almond flour?
Amy
I could probably eat an entire batch in one sitting!
Sarah Hardy
I know I could!
Deb
Yes! Me too!! Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made them with lemon the first couple of times, then decided to tweek the recipe. I have a friend who is allergic to almonds, so I decided to make them with coconut flour (2/3 c) and used fresh strawberries, omitting the lemon. OmG! This is my favorite goodie, by far! The lemon is very good as well, but I really, really like the fresh strawberries with this recipe! Thank you again for posting!!
Sarah Hardy
Strawberry sounds AMAZING! Now I want to try that!
Aleta
These look delicious! Lemon is my absolute favourite, I can't wait to try them 🙂
Leanne | Crumb Top Baking
Lemon and coconut together are so good! And I like another person's suggestion to sub in lime juice. That would definitely give them a tropical vibe!
Tara
These look delicious and i agree, you can easily sub lemon or lime juice depending on what you have on hand. Thank you!
Robin
YUM!!! Thank you so much! What a fantastic treat for my Modified Atkins Diet! You rock!
Gabriele Bilbrey
Can I use THM baking blend instead of almond flour?
