Keto fat bombs are one way to get those healthy fats into your diet if you’re having a hard time meeting the daily requirements for fat.
If you’re following the keto diet, you may be struggling to meet your required macros each day, especially fat. Fat intake is a key part of keto and really fuels the fat-burning process of ketosis. For more information about fat and the keto diet, read the Essential Guide to Healthy Fats.

Keto Fat Bombs
What’s A Keto Fat Bomb?
A fat bomb is a small treat that contains mostly healthy fats and only a little protein and carbs. On the keto diet, you can eat fat bombs to make sure you’re hitting your macros every day and getting the necessary amount of fat for ketosis. It’s a bomb because it’s a big ole dose of fat in one serving.
The easiest way to make a fat bomb is to use some type of mold. Any silicone baking mold used for candy or treat making will work. If you really want to get creative, they sell them in a variety of shapes. Or you could just use a basic mold like this.
How Much Fat Are We Talking About Here?
Don’t let the name fool you. When I first heard about keto fat bombs I thought it sounded disgusting. As in, I need to eat a blob of fat?? Are you kidding me?
But nothing could be farther from the truth. They’re called fat bombs because they contain mostly healthy fats. The general rule of thumb is that keto fat bombs are at least 85% fat.
Most keto fat bomb recipes are a sweet treat. So if you’re missing that sweet but forbidden taste of candy or desserts loaded with sugar, a keto fat bomb is going to help you with those cravings.
Here are keto fat bomb recipes that you need to try right now.

Chocolate Cherry Fat Bombs
Here’s another one of my favorite goodies! Chocolate covered cherries! Regular chocolate covered cherries are loaded with sugar – in the syrup, in the chocolate, and the cherries. Bummer.
But these use dark sweet cherries which are sweet without all of the added sugar. Coconut butter, coconut oil, cacao powder, liquid stevia, and vanilla and almond extract are combined with chopped cherries. Spoon them into mini-muffin cups and freeze. So good!
