These Coconut Butter Fat Bombs are the perfect keto and low-carb treat to satisfy your sweet tooth without all the carbs.
They're dairy-free and sugar-free, plus there are two great flavors to choose from: chocolate orange and cherry vanilla.
Having healthy snacks and treats around is key to warding off cravings and keeping you on track with your healthy living journey. And if you're on a keto diet or dealing with candida, low-carb treats are the only way to go.
I don't subscribe to the keto diet completely, but we eat pretty low-carb and having high-fat snacks around like these fat bombs has been super helpful for us.
What Are Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs are small snacks that are typically sweet and are high in fat content. For those on the keto diet, they're known to help supply fuel to your body and also help you stay in ketosis.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Just like other fat bombs (like these Mint Fat Bombs), this recipe will help you meet your goals if you're on the keto diet. They'll also help you stay full, so if you're watching your weight, you'll likely eat less.
What makes this recipe special is that it's totally customizable. I have two different recipe variations here (cherry vanilla and chocolate orange), but of course, you can expand from there to make even more fun flavors.
With a base of just five ingredients, you'll love how simple this recipe is. You can make these into cute balls easily, but you can make the recipe even easier by pressing it into a pan and cutting into square shapes.
This scoop is a great one to use for this recipe, and each recipe makes 8-12 fat bombs, depending on the size of your scoop or piece.

Coconut Butter Fat Bombs
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Orange Version
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 tablespoon orange extract
Cherry Vanilla Version
- 1 cup freeze-dried cherries
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk the coconut butter, coconut oil, and coconut milk over very low heat until smooth. You just want it to be warm enough to melt the coconut oil and create a smooth mixture.
- Remove from heat and add additional ingredients for whatever variation you're making. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Cool the mixture down in the fridge for 10-15 minutes or until it just starts to firm up a little. Remove from fridge and stir well. You'll see the texture of the mixture change to what looks like fudge.
- Using a small ice cream scoop (a 1 tablespoon scoop works well), scoop the mixture out onto a tray lined with wax or parchment paper. You could also use a spoon and roll the mixture into balls with your hands. Or spread the mixture into a loaf pan and cut into squares.
- Store in the fridge or freezer, but let them come to room temp before serving. They taste better that way. If you leave them out too long, they will get super soft, but they won't completely melt like other coconut oil-based candies.

Thank you so much!!
These look better than ferrerro rocher! Can’t wait to attempt this.
The coconut milk in the recipes… Is that just the thick coconut cream from the can or the the milk after it’s been shaken?
The milk after shaken. Or you can use my homemade version.
These look so good! Anything with coconut butter is my friend! My mum used to make coconut fudge with it and it was SO delicious!
