Prep & Cook Time

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes (for cooling/setting)

Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 18 fat bombs

Ingredients

• 1 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
• 4 tbsp butter (softened)
• 1 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp molasses (optional)
• 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 4 tbsp butter (softened)
• 1 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1.5 cups sugar-free chocolate chips
• 2 tsp refined coconut oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the cookie dough layer: In a medium bowl, combine the first set of ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup sweetener, 4 tbsp softened butter, 1 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla, and the optional 1/2 tsp molasses. Mix with a hand mixer or spoon until a smooth, thick dough forms. Fold in 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips. Set aside.
2. Prepare the brownie layer: In a separate medium bowl, combine the second set of ingredients: 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup sweetener, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 4 tbsp softened butter, 1 oz softened cream cheese, and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix with a hand mixer or spoon until a thick, fudgy batter forms.
3. Assemble the fat bombs: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the cookie dough mixture evenly among the 18 liners, pressing it down to form the first layer. Next, divide the brownie batter evenly on top of the cookie dough layer, gently spreading it to cover. Place the tin in the freezer for 30 minutes to set firmly.
4. Prepare the chocolate coating: While the bombs are setting, combine the 1.5 cups sugar-free chocolate chips and 2 tsp refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
5. Coat the bombs: Remove the set fat bombs from the tin. Working quickly, dip the top of each bomb into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Alternatively, you can spoon the chocolate over the top. Place them on a parchment-lined tray. If desired, you can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on the wet chocolate for decoration.
6. Set the coating: Return the coated bombs to the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate shell is hard. Serve cold from the refrigerator or freezer.

Variations

1. Double Chocolate: Add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to the cookie dough layer for a chocolate chip cookie dough experience.
2. Salted Caramel Drizzle: Before the chocolate shell fully sets, drizzle the tops with a sugar-free caramel syrup and a tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
3. Nutty Crunch: Press a single almond, pecan half, or macadamia nut into the top of each brownie layer before freezing.
4. Brownie Bites: Skip the chocolate coating altogether and simply enjoy the two-layer chilled bites for a quicker, less messy option.

Tips for Success

• Ensure your butter and cream cheese are very soft for both layers to guarantee a smooth, lump-free mixture.
• Using a small cookie scoop or melon baller makes dividing the dough and batter among the liners quick and even.
• Refined coconut oil is recommended for the coating as it has no coconut taste, but unrefined (virgin) can be used if you enjoy the flavor.
• If the chocolate coating thickens while you work, briefly re-warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Storage & Reheating

Store these fat bombs in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. They are meant to be eaten cold, so no reheating is necessary. Simply let a frozen one sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating if you prefer a slightly softer texture.

FAQ

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes, you can use any powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend that measures like sugar. Granular sweeteners may result in a slightly gritty texture.

Why is there almond flour in two separate amounts?

The recipe creates two distinct layers. The first amount (1 cup) is for the cookie dough layer, and the second amount (3/4 cup) is for the brownie layer.

Is the molasses really keto-friendly?

The 1/2 tsp is optional and adds a depth of flavor reminiscent of brown sugar. This tiny amount divided across 18 servings adds a negligible amount of carbs.

My chocolate coating is cracking when I bite. How do I fix this?

This usually means the centers were too cold when dipped. Let the frozen bombs sit at room temperature for 3-4 minutes before dipping in the melted chocolate.

Can I make these without a mini muffin tin?

Absolutely. You can roll the cookie dough and brownie mixtures into separate balls and press them together, or simply press the layers into a small parchment-lined square pan and cut into bars after freezing.

Do I have to use both butter and cream cheese?

Yes, for the proper texture and flavor in both layers. The cream cheese adds tang and helps the fat bombs hold their shape.
