Description
A refreshing and guilt-free treat, these Lemon Cheesecake Fat Bombs are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the carbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup powdered sweetener of choice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A dash of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and almond butter together until you achieve a creamy consistency, using either a hand mixer or a whisk.
- Gradually mix in the melted coconut oil, followed by the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Prepare a mini muffin tray by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
- Carefully fill each muffin cup with the creamy mixture, ensuring they are about three-quarters full.
- Transfer the muffin tray to the freezer and allow it to chill for approximately 30 minutes, or until the bites are firm to the touch.
- Once they have set, gently pop the cream bites out of the tray and store them in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, swap the lemon juice and zest with lime for Lime Cream Bites.
- Incorporate a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds into the mixture for added crunch and health benefits.
