These little bite-sized keto hot chocolate fat bombs look and taste like cheesecake bites! They are fancy – perfect for parties – and tasty too.
Sweet Hot Chocolate Bites
Naming these sweet treats was difficult because they don’t look like your typical fat bombs. Sure, they are made with cream cheese, just like classic fat bombs. But they actually look more like a hot cocoa-dusted cheesecake bite than a round chewy fat bomb.
I was going to title them Mexican Hot Chocolate Bites because that really is what they are. The cream cheese and butter bites are rolled in a spicy chocolate coating. The spice comes from a combination of chili powder and cinnamon. There is nothing like that combination!
These sweet hot chocolate bites are super-rich and sweet, without using any sugar! Not only are they coated in cocoa, but the cream cheese on the inside is chocolate too!
Easy Keto Hot Chocolate Fat Bomb
They might not look like typical fat bombs. They look more like little festive cheesecake bites with cute little whipped cream hats! Let me tell you, they are packed with healthy fats.
The cream cheese and butter together will fill you up so fast that you won’t be tempted to overindulge in too many of them.
Keto Chocolate Fat Bomb
I think my favorite thing about these keto chocolate fat bombs is that they taste like Mexican hot cocoa! Have you ever tried spicy hot chocolate?
The chili powder and cinnamon actually enhance the chocolate, so it has a deeper and richer taste. As you bite into them, you’ll be licking your lips, savoring each note and flavor it leaves behind.
Cocoa Cheesecake Bites
These cocoa cheesecake bites are topped with homemade whipped topping. If you have a stand mixer, then it’s as easy as dumping the heavy whipping cream, sweetener, and vanilla into the mixer and letting it do all the work.
The best kind of sweetener for homemade whipped cream is powdered Erythritol. It will help the cream really whip with amazing peaks and the perfect sweet taste without any funky aftertaste.
For a little more festive flair, you could sprinkle some sugar-free dark shavings on top.
Keto Appetizer With Cream Cheese
If you serve this as an appetizer, your guests won’t be hungry for dinner. They seriously fill you up. I like to eat one when I’m feeling hungry between meals. It cuts my cravings and helps me stay within my macros. They are pretty magical like that!
They don’t last very long in the refrigerator, so eat them as soon as you can! If you want to keep them longer-term, I suggest putting them in a freezer-safe container and keeping them in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them again, you might have to let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.
