These fat bombs are not overly sweet, so if you want them to be really sweet, feel free to add a little more Swerve.

Are There Carbs in Cream Cheese?

On Keto and most all low carb diets, carb counts matter. Cream cheese, just like nearly all cheese, has a low carb count with less than 1 gram per 1 ounce serving.

Is Cream Cheese Keto?

Cream cheese is an excellent source of healthy fat! With its 1g of net carbs it packs 7 grams of fat. For a low-carb, high-fat diet like Keto, those are excellent macros.

You want to stick with the original, plain cream cheese and avoid the flavored ones as they often times contain sugars other high carb ingredients that are not Keto friendly.

Why Eat Keto Fat Bombs?

A Ketogenic Diet consists of a high amount of fat, moderate protein and low carbs, so the bulk of our calories come from healthy fats.  If we don’t consume enough healthy fat, we run the risk of following a high protein diet which is not Keto.  

Some people struggle with this concept, since we’re been told for many years that fat is bad and we should eat low/no fat.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  

These fats can include butter, heavy cream, coconut and coconut oil, avocados and avocado oil, mascarpone cheese, olive oil, cream cheese to name a few.  For a more comprehensive list of these foods, see my Keto Foods List!  For different ideas on how to use them , check out 15 Ways to Add More Fats into Your Keto Diet.

Most fat bombs can double as a sweet treat.  Who doesn’t love a bite of something sweet, without having to make an entire cake, pie or batch of cupcakes!?

    1. You can add a little lemon juice if you’d like but I would not add too much or it could change the texture.

    1. You can use candy molds or mini muffin cups. If you want them to be larger, you can use regular-sized muffin cups.

  1. Lily’s also makes Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel chips that are utterly FABULOUS in place of plain chocolate! Same price, same size bag, and available at Walmart (at least here where I live, and there are five Walmarts within a 35 mile radius of my apartment).

    1. Yes, you’re absolutely right! Those are actually my favorite chocolate from Lily’s, I snack on those chips all the time!

  2. 5 stars
    I’m a very begginner cook and saw the number of servings as 18 at the beggining of the recipe so that’s how many I made. It wouldve been helpful to see 36 at the top and then 2 per serving at the bottom.

    1. All that info is listed at the bottom of the post in the recipe in the recipe card. I hope that helps.

    1. You could use a little cocoa. You don’t want to add too much or it could make them too dry.

    1. I would start with 30 minutes in the fridge. Let them cool for a few minutes first before transferring them to the fridge.

  3. 5 stars
    I just finished making the cheesecake fat bombs the first time, mine don’t look as pretty. Do you have a trick with the drizzling of chocolate? Thanks

    1. No trick at all, I just drizzled it over the tops with a spoon, that’s it. Hope you enjoy them!

  4. Both in the itemized ingredients as well in the preparation details underneath it, there is a discrepancy with the Optional: drizzle. At the top, it says 1/4 cup Lily’s choc. chips & in step 4, it says 1/3 cup. Can you please tell me which is the correct measurement? Thanks.

  5. I’m new here — am looking for nutritional info because I need to have it on all recipes.
    Am I missing It?

  6. Hi , how many fat bombs are a serving hun ? I’m definitely going to make them tonight .. SC Nurse Tammy ⭐️😇 per fat bomb is 107 calories and 1 carb?

    1. Hi Tammy,
      I was able to get 36 fat bombs in the batch, and there are 2 per serving. So it’s 107 calories and 1 carb for 2 fat bombs. Enjoy!!

      1. Frustrating because you don’t say how many servings in the recipe and my molds are much bigger util I found this reply…..so 36- totally changes the cooking time…..

      2. The photos show 36 fat bombs, but I added a note in the recipe card just to clarify and there are 2 fat bombs per serving. Sorry for any confusion.

  7. 5 stars
    Thank you for this amazing recipe! These truly are the best cheesecake fat bombs! Just like cheesecake, so light and amazing! The only problem is I can’t eat just one!

    1. Hi Angie,
      Oh don’t I know it!? They are my favorite fat bomb, hands down! I’m glad you like them 🙂

    1. Hi Bonnie,
      I buy them locally at a health food store, but they also sell them at Publix, Kroger (online delivery) or you can order from a number of online stores.

    1. It’s 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Sorry for the confusion, I’ve edited the recipe!

    1. Hmm, I’ve never tried making them with liquid stevia, so I wouldn’t be able to give you measurements or know how they’d turn out sorry. If you have granular Swerve or erythritol, you can grind it to a fine powder to sub for the Swerve confectioners, if that helps.

  8. These are awesome! Thank you for posting. I didn’t have Swerve confection sweetener and used regular Swerve (b/c I was lazy and didn’t want to process the Sweeve into powder), and they turned out fat-bulous! My husband even likes them.
