These no-bake peanut butter fat bombs are the easiest way to stay on track when a sweet craving hits. A creamy peanut butter center under a snappy sugar-free chocolate shell delivers rich, satisfying fat with barely any carbs.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • ½ cup coconut oil, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (such as Lily's)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for the chocolate shell)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with silicone or paper liners, or use a silicone candy mold.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, ½ cup coconut oil, cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 liners, smoothing the tops. Freeze for at least 20 minutes, until firm.

  4. 4

    Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

  5. 5

    Spoon the melted chocolate over each chilled fat bomb to coat the top. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes, until the shell sets.

  6. 6

    Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy chilled — they soften quickly at room temperature.

Tips & notes

  • Use a natural peanut butter whose only ingredients are peanuts and salt; many commercial brands add sugar that will spike the carb count.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Swap the peanut butter for almond butter to make these nut-allergy-friendly for peanut-sensitive eaters, or skip the chocolate shell to save a few minutes.
