How to Make Strawberry Coconut Keto Fat Bombs
Refrigerate a can of full fat unsweetened coconut milk over night so that the cream separates from the water and solidifies. The cream at the top is what you want. It should be thick and creamy. Once the cream has separated, measure out ½ cup and discard the water.
Add add the strawberries, Mascarpone, coconut oil and coconut cream to the food processor and blend until well combined.
Add in the Swerve, coconut and vanilla extracts and continue mixing.
Using a mini cookie scoop, scoop out the mix into silicone molds, mini muffin cups or ice cube trays.
Top with the shredded coconut and press down gently, so it will stick. Freeze for 30-45 minutes or until set. These Coconut fat bombs should be stored chilled.
Keep leftovers in the fridge, but for best results store them in the freezer and take them out as you want them.
Are There Carbs in Coconut?
One of the main ingredients in these Keto fats bombs is coconut. The great news is there is only 1 carb per tablespoon of unsweetened coconut.
Is Coconut Keto?
Yes! Unlike many other fruits that are high in carbs, coconuts are mostly fiber and fat. Even better, the fat found in coconuts is MCT (medium-chain-triglycerides), which promotes a feeling of fullness and has been linked to other healthy benefits. If you would like to know more about the benefits of coconuts, check out this article.
Can I Eat Strawberries on Keto?
Strawberries are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber making them a smart choice of fruit on Keto. For one whole cup of strawberries, there are 10 net grams of carbs.
They also have high levels of antioxidants and other associated health benefits. If you'd like to know more about these benefits, check out this article.
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.
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!?

Your Fat Bombs look delicious!!. I really want to try them, but the 3 recipes I just looked at are all missing Nutritional Facts info though... The serving size + how many the recipe yields. (It would be helpful to show the apx weight of a serving also, so we know we're making them the right size). If you're on KETO, serving size is an essential, and pretty much a no-go without it. Thanks so much! ♥

Elle,
The nutrition info for all my recipes is inside the recipe card, towards the bottom of each page. For these fat bombs, there are 20 servings, so 1 fat bomb = 1 serving. They are about the size of a mini muffin, so as long as you use a fat bomb mold or mini muffin pan as shown in the pics and video, you should also get 20 servings.

In the printed Ingredients area, you forgot the vanilla and coconut extracts!

Not sure how that went missing, but I've corrected it. Thanks for letting me know!
