How to Make Keto Pumpkin Fat Bombs

First, let's roast the pecans! Preheat oven to 325F.

Add the pecans to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Next comes the good stuff! Add the mascarpone and cream cheese to a bowl whip up using a hand mixer.

Add the remaining ingredients and continue mixing until well combined.

Spoon into mini muffin silicone liners (or ice cube tray). It is perfectly acceptable to lick the bowl at this point. I actually can't resist doing so!

Smooth the tops, then add a pecan and press down gently so the pecan sticks.  Freeze for 1 hour, or until set. Remove them once they have firmed up, dust lightly with cinnamon and there you have it!

Enjoy! 

How Do I Store Pumpkin Pie Fat Bombs?

Because the Keto Pumpkin fat bombs are made from mostly dairy, you must store them in the fridge or they will become too mushy and will spoil.

Keto Pumpkin Fat Bombs also freeze well for up to several months when they are stored in an air tight container. 

Even non-low carb eaters will loves these Keto fat bombs and they make the perfect little bite-sized snack. And because they do freezer well, you could make a couple of batches and store them in the freezer so you'll have a quick little dessert prepared when you need one for the holidays. 

Substitutions for Pumpkin Pie Fat Bombs

• If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with cream cheese and they will still taste great! 
• If you have nut allergies, you can leave off the roasted pecans that these are topped with.
• If you're a nut fan like I am, you can add chopped pecans to the Mascarpone mixture for added crunch.
• If you don't have silicone mini muffin molds or any fat bomb mold, you can use a mini muffin pan instead.
• Chocolate lovers don't have to feel left out of this one! Add sugar free white chocolate chips for a delicious and interesting flavor combination.
• You'll notice that this recipe calls for homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice. You can certainly buy it already made up in the store. But the thing that makes homemade spice and seasoning blends so great, is YOU get to control the ingredients. If you want more or one thing than another, you can make that change. Plus, making your own spice blends can be economical as well. Keep them in a spice keeper for optimal long-term freshness.

What are 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.

Adding these healthy fats into our meals is key, but there are times when you just don't have enough or doesn't quite fit into a particular meal that you're preparing.  Fat bombs are perfect for times like this, where you can consume one or two and get your healthy fats in your macros!  Most recipes make a fairly decent amount and most often can be frozen, so you can always have some on hand!

Another great perk to most fat bombs is they double as a sweet treat, that doesn't kick you out of Ketosis!   Who doesn't love a bite of something sweet, without having to make an entire cake, pie or batch of cupcakes!?
