When I first heard about fat bombs, the idea of eating something by that name did not entice me at all. Why would anyone want to eat a bite of pure fat? Wouldn't eating fat MAKE you fat?

Quite the opposite. The aim of the keto diet is to get your body into a state of ketosis. This means it is using fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.

Research shows healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado or nuts are a great source of energy for your body. Eating fat AND sugar together is the lethal combination that WILL make you put on weight. Consuming fat alongside fibre and protein, on the other hand, is a quick way to reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Why This Recipe Works

These fat bombs are chocolatey, nutty, velvety-creamy and just on the right side of sweet. They contain good quality chocolate, coconut oil and walnuts.

The high fat content - cocoa butter and coconut oil - will provide much longer-lasting energy than a sugary candy bar could ever provide.

Equipment

You can simply use what you have. Candymouldswork well orice cube trays.If you don't have either, pour the liquid into a parchment-lined tray like you woulda fudge. You then cut it into pieces once set.

One of the moulds I used is actually a tray that contained Toffifee - a popular German candy that my kids were given by friends for Christmas. You can see it in the image above. I'm pleased to get some good use out of it at the end 🙂

Instructions

It's so simple to make fat bombs. Here are the basic steps:

  1. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a water bath/microwave/on the stove.
  2. Add crushed walnuts, cinnamon and stevia to the mix
  3. Pour into a mould
  4. Freeze for 5 minutes until the top is just set
  5. Press larger walnut pieces on the top
  6. Return to the freezer or fridge until firm.

Recipe TOP TIP:

Use the best ingredients you can afford. I have tried cheap coconut oil before, which may be fine for frying, but will never be as tasty or indeed healthy as extra virgin coconut oil.

Same with the chocolate. I have tested using cocoa powder instead of chocolate mixed with coconut oil, and was not convinced. Instead, go for a high quality dark chocolate brand. It'll be creamier, has a high cocoa butter content and does not contain vegetable fats.

The Best Chocolate To Use

I used a brand called Lindt with 90% cocoa solids, but I have come across unsweetened (100% cocoa solids) chocolate as well, here in the UK there is a brand calledMontezuma, for example. You can get it on Amazon or at Sainsbury's.

If you use unsweetened chocolate, I recommend sweeten with 2 tablespoons of powdered sweetener and see if you also need an additional 4-8 drops of stevia. Personally I don't like using too much stevia in my recipes because I don't like the metallic taste shining through. That's why I'd mix the 2 sweeteners.

If you can get hold of sugar free chocolate such asLily'sin the USA, you could use it in this recipe too. In this case you probably do not need additional sweetener at all. But as always - taste and decide!

Variations

You can easily adapt these Keto fat bombs. If you wanted, you could add a couple of spoonfuls of walnut butter to the mix. If you have a soft spot for orange chocolate, try adding a tablespoon of orange zest.

You can swap out the walnuts for hazelnuts or even sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, or add a pinch of sea salt.Next time I'll toast the walnut pieces before I add them.

Portion Size

This depends on how big a treat you need :). My mix made 30 fat bombs, which weighed between 5 and 8 grams because I used 2 different-sized moulds.

If your fat bombs are a similar size to mine, I'd say2 is a good portion.The nutrition in the panel below is calculated for one fat bomb weighing an average of 6.6g.

Storage

Unlike other keto fat bomb recipes, these little beauties stay firm at room temperature. Even so, I recommend to store them in the fridge - if you hold them in your hand for too long you've go some finger-licking to do! Alternatively, you can also store them in the freezer.

  • Add the crushed walnuts, cinnamon and stevia to the melted chocolate mixture.

  • Pour into silicone moulds or ice cube tray and freeze for around 5 minutes until the tops are just set.

  • Remove the fat bombs from freezer and press the larger walnut pieces on top.

  • Return to the freezer for another 20 minutes until the fat bombs have set.

Notes

My mix made 30 Keto fat bombs, which weighed between 5 and 8 grams because I used 2 different-sized moulds. The nutrition is calculated for an average fat bomb weighing 6.6g.

If you do not have moulds, you could also line a small tray with baking paper and pour the fat bomb mix into it. After it has firmed up you can either cut or break it into small pieces.

Chocolate walnut fat bombs are best kept in the fridge or in the freezer. They stay firm at room temperature but do melt in your hand when you pick them up.

I used caramel-flavoured stevia. I imagine a vanilla-flavoured one would be good in this recipe, too.
