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
Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with silicone or paper liners, or use a silicone candy mold.
- 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
Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 liners, smoothing the tops. Freeze for at least 20 minutes, until firm.
- 4
Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- 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
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.
