Ingredients & Substitutions
You only need a few simple ingredients to make these strawberry cheesecake fat bombs — plus a couple of easy swaps if you’d like to adjust sweetness or firmness.
Cream cheese – The base that gives these their classic cheesecake taste. Full-fat cream cheese works best for richness and firmness.
Butter – Adds structure and a velvety mouthfeel. For dairy-free, swap with coconut oil.
Powdered erythritol (or monk fruit) – A low-carb sweetener that blends smoothly without grittiness. Start with ¼ cup and adjust if you prefer them sweeter.
Vanilla extract – Rounds out the flavour and adds a warm, sweet note.
Fresh strawberries – Diced for texture or blended into a purée for a smoother filling with a pink tint.
Coconut flour (optional) – A small amount helps absorb excess moisture and makes the fat bombs firmer.
How to Make It
These fat bombs come together in just a few simple steps — no oven, no fancy equipment, just a mixing bowl and a little patience while they chill. The best part? You can sneak a taste along the way (quality control, of course).
Mix the Base
Start by letting your cream cheese and butter soften — this makes all the difference for a smooth mixture. Beat them together until they’re creamy and fluffy. It should already smell a little like cheesecake at this stage.
Sweeten & Flavour
Add your powdered sweetener and vanilla. Give it a taste — this is the moment to decide if you like them sweeter or more tangy. Adjust until it feels just right for you.
Add the Strawberries
Fold in the diced strawberries for little bursts of fruit, or blend them into a purée if you want a smoother texture and that pretty pink colour. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
Shape the Fat Bombs
Scoop the mixture into little balls with a cookie scoop or a couple of spoons. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect — once they’re chilled, they’ll firm up beautifully.
Chill Until Firm
Pop the tray into the fridge for about an hour (or the freezer if you’re in a hurry). Once set, you’ve got creamy, sweet strawberry cheesecake bites ready whenever you need a treat.
Tip: For an extra touch, dip them in melted sugar-free white chocolate — they look like they came straight from a bakery.
Storage & Freezing
Fridge – Store fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. They’ll stay firm and ready to grab whenever you need a sweet bite.
Freezer – These freeze beautifully. Place them on a tray to harden, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving, or enjoy straight from the freezer if you like them extra firm.
Tip – If you’ve dipped yours in white chocolate, layer them with parchment paper when storing so they don’t stick together.
Recipe Tips
- Soften first – Let cream cheese and butter sit out for 20–30 minutes before mixing. Cold ingredients will leave lumps.
- Taste as you go – Everyone’s sweet tooth is different on keto. Mix in your sweetener, then taste and adjust before chilling.
- Choose your texture – Dice strawberries for little bursts of fruit, or blend into a purée if you want a smoother pink filling.
- Keep them bite-sized – A small cookie scoop works perfectly. Smaller fat bombs firm up faster and are easier to grab as a snack.
- White chocolate dip – The ones in my photos are dipped in sugar-free white chocolate. Totally optional, but such a fun upgrade if you want them to look bakery-style.
