Chocolate Avocado Keto Fat Bombs
Indulge in these decadent and surprisingly healthy Chocolate Avocado Keto Fat Bombs. Creamy avocado blends seamlessly with rich chocolate for a guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet cravings while keeping you in ketosis.
Ingredients
- 1 medium, ripe Avocado
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons, melted Coconut Oil
- to taste Erythritol or Stevia
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- pinch Sea Salt
Preparation
First, mash the avocado in a bowl until smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps.
Mixing the Ingredients
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, erythritol (or stevia), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and chocolatey.
Forming the Fat Bombs
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop out equal portions of the chocolate avocado mixture. Roll each portion into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, try chilling it for a few minutes before rolling.
Chilling and Setting
Place the rolled fat bombs on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the fat bombs are firm.
Serving and Storage
Once the fat bombs are firm, they are ready to serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy directly from the fridge or freezer.
