How to store keto chocolate fat bombs

Chocolate Fat Bombs set into ice cube trays

Fat bombs must be kept in the fridge until you want to eat them, otherwise, the coconut oil will melt or soften and make them almost impossible to eat.

Some readers even keep them in the freezer as an emergency snack to stop a sugar craving.

You can make them as a dessert or just to keep when hunger strikes.

Notes

The taste of fat bombs is incredibly personal. How sweet you like them depends on how your sweet tooth has adapted, and if you are a dark chocolate or dairy milk chocolate lover.
The carbs in the fat bomb come from the walnut so you can delete these if you want to.

  1. It would be really helpful if you gave both metric & US measurements for the ingredients!

    1. 5 stars
      Most Americans tell me they use electric scales to weigh their ingredients. I asked on Facebook a few times and the outstanding majority (including Americans) want to keep it as metric of accuracy. I used to use cups but there are US and Uk cups so very inaccurate. Take a look at my cooking conversion charts. Hope that helps.

      1. Thank you for the conversion chart, that’s extremely helpful! 🙂

    2. i second that! cups n tblspns pls along with the metric. thank u!

      1. I seriously need to think about doing this. Each recipe will take a lot longer to write but I’m guessing my American followers will thank me. In the meantime, take a look at my conversion charts. I need to rent a teenager to go through and recalculate quantities for 160 recipes 😉

        1. I love this recipe and I am glad you are using coconut oil…it is so good for your health. As for the people who want you to convert the amounts…are they lazy…just do it guys…google conversion chart …If you want butter and other fatty ingredients then look up another recipe…leave this one alone…Thanks Libby for the great recipes. Much appreciated.

  2. I love jaffa so might try natural orange essence for flavour, and perhaps some grated orange zest on top… or perhaps some mint essence for that choc-mint sensation… 🙂

  3. Could you suggest a tasty healthy alternative to the coconut oil it makes us want to vomit. thank you.

    1. Yeah I agree, coconut oil by itself is pretty awful and not to everyones taste. I have developed some fat bombs using cream cheese which I hope to post soon. Watch this space 🙂

  4. strawberry flavor! without dairy! thank u 🙂

  5. I make a batch with: 150g coconut butter, 150g Unsalted butter, 150g macadamia butter (or almond) and 100g 90% Lindt. Pour into a SILICONE icecube tray (easy to push out) for bite sized treats. Popular with the whole family – especially the students!

    1. Hi Vered, any idea of the carb count?

      1. Yes, they are 1.2g carbs which is mainly from the walnut and tahini so you can delete these if you wish. There is a nutritional panel in all the recipes 🙂

        1. What about the carbs in cocoa powder?

      2. Heather, there are 0 carbs as there is no sugar added. The calorie count in one ‘bite’ is about 85 to 125.

  6. How many did your recipe yield ?

  7. These are BEAUTIFUL! I just need to get rid of some of these (stupid) food intolerances so I can make your recipes. (Dairy and nuts, I’m looking at you!) Anyhow, I will–and I will be making some of your recipes. Being lazy, I think I, too, would like the cups and tablespoons. I know that’s so much harder for you! I think that very conscientious people weigh here, but moms with young kids don’t have time to. It probably is best to weigh, but we’re Americans. Just give a smile, and close is good enough. 🙂 Love the ice cube tray tip!

    1. I love it “give a smile, and close is good enough” – that is exactly how I cook, but I have had to weigh everything for the website. I am a “throw what you have in the dish” kind of cook and make it up as I go (which I guess is why I develop so many recipes) but I would get complaints about a handful of this and a squidge of that. I only weigh because cups are so inaccurate (how do you get a cup of coconut oil or nut butter out easily) so I put my bowl on the electric scales and just keep on pressing tare so the balance starts at zero between each addition – easy peasy.

  8. Linda Clark says:

    Libby, please just continue what you are doing, your recipes are amazing – the Americans will be able to figure it out if they try hard enough 🙂 no need to make extra work for yourself, your website is already super helpful, thank you !

  9. These look so yummy, can’t wait to try them! I am an American living abroad and I personally love that you use metric measurements because that’s what they use in South America. Metric doesn’t come naturally to me brain, but I find it more accurate, and its less work for you! Thanks for the delicious recipes and helpful website!! 🙂

  10. Where can you get tahini paste, and is it necessary to the recipe?

    1. Tahini paste will usually be near the peanut butters or in the health aisle. No you don’t really need it, but I find it gives a nice depth to the flavour. How about a drop of peppermint essence instead?

      1. Thats a good idea as I did not add the Tahini

  11. I have just made these, delicious …..I made without the walnuts, but next time I make I’ll use macadamia nuts 🙂

  12. Hi Libby
    Strange question, but do you know how long these will keep once they are made? And could I freeze them? I cook for one it might take a while to eat them all 🙂

  13. Marion Robinson says:

    Hi there everyone from beautiful Bonnie Scotland, ( on the west coast )
    I was wondering, how long does a jar of coconut butter last.
    I found a jar lurking in the back of the cupboard, & can’t remember how long ago I bought it.
    I live in the middle of nowhere, so I can’t just ” pop ” to the store to buy one.
    I’m type 2 diabetic, & am SO grateful for sites like these .
    I love reading the comments, keep them coming.

    1. Welcome from far far away in NZ, oh how I wish I could pop back to Scotland, love it there. As for your coconut butter, my jar had an expiry date of just over a year, so as long as it has been stored in a cool and dark cupboard, I am sure it would be fine for that time. Open the jar and smell it to check the oils haven’t gone rancid. You can actually make your own coconut butter if you have a powerful enough blender. Lovely to hear from you Marion, keep commenting 🙂

  14. No need to be rude to those who ask for U.S. measurements. If it provided both then everyone could follow the recipe. These look great and I will have to try.

    1. Weight is the most accurate way to get consistent results. Most scales have the ability to switch to grams. Enjoy.

      1. Yay, sending you a virtual hug. You wouldn’t believe how many comments I get regarding weight and oz and cups. I cannot wait for the US to go metric. Will it ever happen? Using an electric scale has to be the easiest way to cook. Just tare to zero in between each ingredient, you don’t have to get any measuring cups dirty. So simple for either metric or imperial.

        1. raynne413 says:

          I’m in the US and I actually prefer weight because I make recipes by weight using my food scale, and rarely use measuring cups. Calorie tracking is just more accurate that way.

  15. Inspired by this recipe, I made a version omitting the tahini (purely because I didn’t have any) and with a little sugarfree strawberry jelly powder instead of sweetener. I topped each one with an almond. Delicious! Next time I am going to experiment with adding in a nut butter.

  16. Soooooo good. I used pumpkin seed butter, four goji berries per bomb and the walnuts you suggested. They are like delicious little superfood bombs. Thank you so much for posting this amazing dairy free recipe 🙂

  17. I totally missed the tahini paste while making these, but it tasted delicious!

    1. I can’t wait to make these again. I’m craving this so much. Some of the chocolate got sticky and thick. But when I ate it, OMG! It was better than the others. I’m going to try to make all of it thicker next time! Lol!

    2. Can I skip the tahini paste?

  18. I mixed all in a bowl except nuts, melted slightly in microwave and mixed until smooth then added almond flakes instead of walnuts and desiccated coconut until big ball, I rolled them into 18 balls and let set. Very yum

    I’ve been on this diet for a week, and am lactose intolerant & have high insulin. Any suggestions for how to do this WITHOUT loosing weight? Thanks again – finding you was truly a blessing!

    1. Thank you for your kind comment. Im glad you have found my website helpful. As for not loosing weight, you can add more protein and more fat. Generally when people want to lose weight I say to cut back on the fat, but you want to maintain so you could have more. Have some more protein but keep an eye on what it does to your blood glucose levels as it can raise it and cause an insulin demand. More nuts too would keep your weight stable and hunger away, but again, not to excess as the carbs soon add up. Try the fat bombs, the might be an idea for you.

      1. Debbie Cepla says:

        Libby,
        I thought that if you want to lose weight, you cut back on the protein and maintain or increase the fat due to the way they both metabolize in our bodies.
        Can you clarify? Thanks for a great website!

        1. To lose weight most people maintain their protein which should be moderate not high (we don’t want muscle loss) and cut back on the dietary fat so the body utilises fat from our own body stores, not from the food we eat.

  20. I was apprehensive about these, thought I would hate them. Boy was I wrong! These are amazing! Just the sweet treat I need now and again. I used natures way super greens + cacao, which I like to use instead of regular cacao because the stevia already combined in the mix has no bitterness and is just the right sweetness for me. And I omitted the walnuts because I didn’t feel like them.

  21. do you think i could replace the sweetener with a date?

  22. Libby , love your recipes , have been struggling for a while, but your site has got me on track beautifully. I live in a very hot climate , my coconut oil does not stay solid difficult to weigh, so have been using the same quality in mls is this correct ?

    1. I’ve had a quick look and 1ml coconut oil = 0.9g so it’s pretty much the same. In the summer here coconut oil melts in my pantry so I feel your pain 😉

  23. I can’t have chocolate. I don’t like pumpkin or coconut. Have a recipe for me?
    Thanks!

    1. Debbie Cepla says:

      Search Libby’s site. She has many many recipes! You’re sure to find several that will meet your needs.

  24. Have just started trying out your recipes and this was my first, I had problems getting the sweetness right because I was using a strong powder type of stevia that I had so I thought I would need less than what you stated in the recipe. Turned out I was wrong, so I bought the same Natvia sweetner that you use and they came out tasting great! The family did find them a bit grainy at the bottom though and I wondered if that might be the sweetener since the Natvia is granules rather than fine powder. Are you supposed to heat the coconut oil enough to actually dissolve the sweetener completely? I mixed it all through but it didn’t look like the sweetener was dissolving so I thought maybe it was supposed to be like that?

    1. I try to grind those granules up a little before I add them as it can be really tricky to get them to dissolve. You can buy the icing ‘sugar’ that Natvia makes but it is more expensive.

  25. Can you use liquid Stevia in place of the granular variant? Would it still set?

    1. Sure, as long as the liquid stevia is concentrated and you don’t have to use to much volume. I would add the stevia to the tahini first before adding to the coconut oil otherwise it might split the mixture.

  26. Mary Wise says:

    I made these today used Natvia and it refused to melt so they are very crunchy, will have to investigate what else I can use. I saw way back in the comments that Erythritol melts easily so will have to try that next time. Is there anything I can do to make the existing bombs a little less crunchy ? Thanks for your wonderful recipes love browsing your website.

    1. Natvia is stevia and erythritol. I tend to let the melted coconut oil and Natvia firm up a little so it’s easier to mix them together and not sink to the bottom. Alternatively you can use their confectioners mix (similar to icing sugar) or grind the baking mix yourself to be a finer grade.

  27. I made these this evening and for some reason they will not set. I’ve been cooking the mixture in the fridge for over half an hour and it’s just gritty mix at the bottom and liquidy mix towards the top. What could I have done wrong?

    1. Sorry, was supposed to say *cooling*, not cooking in the fridge

      1. I made these and added 2 tbls of double cream. You do need to whisk or stir hard for a while to disobey the sweetener.

        1. Sorry! Solve the sweetener!

          1. Dissolve !!! What is it with this auto correct! Lol

        2. dawn casey says:

          Heehee, disobey the sweetener. Sounds like fun!

    2. Some brands of sweetener are more grainy and tough to dissolve than others. I think I added a tip in the recipe somewhere that to ensure the sweetener dissolves, you can grind it finely (with a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle) or buy the powdered version. The coconut oil should set within minutes in the fridge. Maybe check your ingredients to make sure they are in date and it was actually coconut oil you picked up. Not setting sounds very odd indeed. Mine is set at room temperature in the winter and rock solid in the fridge.

  28. Sharon Young says:

    What is essence?

  29. Hi! Any suggestion to make these a little harder? Mine melted so quickly on room temp. Thanks!

  30. Courtney black says:

    can I use almond butter in place of tahini. and would it affect my carbs etc. new to this and trying to find a recipe I can just put into my app.

  31. Sara Aminov says:

    They taste like chalk, seriously

    1. Melissa Davis says:

      I can’t find a recipe that doesn’t. Sucks! ?

  32. whoah this blolg is magnificent i like reading your articles.
    Keeep up the great work! You understand, many persons are searching around for thyis information, you can aid them greatly.

    1. Susan Sayers says:

      When I’ve made fat bombs I’ll eat 3 or 4 as they are so yummy, so for me they don’t work ☹️☹️ any ideas to get around this problem Libby?

      1. Nibble them slowly and remind yourself that you eat only when truly hungry. Part of changing the way we eat and think about food is understanding when to stop. I know from experience this is such a hard lesson, but a valuable one. SO many people overeat because they love the taste, not because they’re actually hungry. So why not freeze them then set yourself a limit of 1 and enjoy it as slowly as you can.

    Hi, I’ve been keto for 6 weeks now (25-30 carbs a day, due to drop to 20-25 and 16lb down woohoo) and needed (oh yes that’s a definite NEEDED!) a sweet chocolate hit that didn’t involve avocado. I’ve just made your recipe with a tweek and have to say a huge thank you, chocolate cravings satisfied! I found the trick to disbursing the sweetener – I used Natvia – was to pop the mix in the fridge for 5 minutes, give it a good stir then back in the fridge, repeat and it thickened beautifully with the sweetener evenly distributed, but I admit I had to add 50ml double cream to ‘soften’ the taste which made 20 wonderful melt in the mouth mini cupcake/truffle case sized bombs of yumminess (18 now!) bagged up in the freezer. Thank you again from England ?

    Thank you so much for this, I made them last night and they’re my first ever fat bombs – woohoo! I used granulated erythritol (and quite a bit more than your suggestion) but the sugar came out all crunchy in the fat bomb, a bit like eating sand. Do you think I can substitute the granulated sugar with something like 0-carb maple syrup? If so, how much would you suggest? Thank you sooo much

    1. I would use powdered sweetener. If you can’t find any locally to you, just pop some regular granulated erythritol in the blender or coffee grinder until powdered. It makes for a smooth fat bomb. I fear if you use maple syrup, the water in the syrup will prevent the fat bomb from setting and the fat/oil combination won’t mix.

    What does the seed butter do for the recipe. Seeds and nuts are not something I can eat. I am wondering about making the chocolate without the seeds or nut butter.
