Ingredients:

· 1/2 cup coconut oil (or butter)

· 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

· 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

· 2-3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· A pinch of salt (optional)

· Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sea salt

      

      Instructions:

 

  Melt the Ingredients:

 

o In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and almond butter together, stirring frequently until smooth and well combined.

 

  Add the Cocoa and Sweetener:

 

o Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Mix until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.

 

Pour into Molds:

 

o Pour the mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin liners. You can also use an ice cube tray if you don’t have molds.

o If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a pinch of sea salt on top for extra flavor and texture.

 

Chill the Fat Bombs:

 

o Place the molds in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the fat bombs are firm and set.

 

Serve:

 

o Once set, remove the fat bombs from the molds and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
