What is the purpose of Fat bombs on keto?
Fat bombs act as high-fat desserts with little to no sugar added. They are great to eat after a meal and since they are commonly frozen, they are a refreshing treat. Sometimes, you can snack on them in between meals or eat them as a meal replacement.
Can I have cream cheese on the keto diet?

It has a slight sweetness that makes it ideal for keto-approved desserts. It is also creamy that makes it a good base for spreads to make savory dishes.
How to Make Keto Lemon Coconut Cheesecake Fat Bombs:
- Combine: Simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl, except for the shredded coconut. To obtain a smooth mixture, make sure that the cheese and fat base are both at room temperature, especially if you use butter instead of the oil.
- Chill: Put the thick dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
- Shape: Take the dough out of the fridge, then, start forming the fat bombs. Scoop out portions that you will roll into balls then, into the shredded coconut. Then, put them in a paper-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze: Freeze them for about 10 to 30 minutes to firm up then, serve.
How to Store Keto Lemon Coconut Cheesecake Fat Bombs:

- Stevia and erythritol are good sugar substitute options that you can add for a bit of sweetness.
- Almond flour is a great alternative to coconut flour.
