What are Fat Bombs?
Oh, these keto fat bombs are so damn good! Coffee fat bombs are bite-sized, energy-packed snacks designed to fuel your body with healthy fats, particularly suited for those following a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
These little treats blend coffee with fats like butter, mascarpone, cream cheese, and, in this fat bomb recipe, whey protein isolate. They’re perfect for a quick pick-me-up, whether you’re looking for a satisfying snack, a breakfast boost, or something to curb those afternoon cravings. A boost of protein and fats to keep you going all day, or best of all, a great way to finish off a meal!
Why I Love Coffee Fat Bombs
I love coffee fat bombs because they blend two of my favourite things—coffee and delicious, creamy treats! They’re a lifesaver for when I need something to help fill me up and prefer a little something sweet after a meal. Plus, the versatility in flavours means I never get bored.
The Ingredients
How to Make Them
Step 1. Place all ingredients into a large bowl or food processor.
Step 2. Use a hand mixer or food processor and mix until smooth.
Step 3. Spoon or pipe 1 heaping teaspoon of batter into a 30-hole silicone mini cup mold.
Step 4. Smooth over the top with a teaspoon and place into the freezer for at least an hour until set.

Choc Keto Fat Bombs: Omit the coffee and add either 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa or 20g melted dark chocolate to the mixture.
Lemon Mascarpone Fat Bombs: Omit the coffee and add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and zest of half a lemon or teaspoon of lemon extract.
Keto Chocolate Mint Fat Bombs: Omit the coffee and add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Add a touch of green food colouring if desired. Coat in chocolate… delicious!
How to Serve Coffee Fat Bombs
Coffee fat bombs are delicious on their own, but paired with your afternoon coffee, chai tea, dirty chai tea latte, or even with a smoothie; they really are something else! Serve them chilled straight from the fridge or freezer for a delicious treat.

Notes
2. Whey Protein Isolate or sweetener can be adjusted to taste. Any sweetener can be used but mill it to be in powdered form so you do not end up with grainy fat bombs.
3. I use salted butter.
4. The Coffee Fat Bombs are best kept stored in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
5. After smoothing over the fat bomb batter, you could simply dust it with a little unsweetened cacao before placing into the freezer as an alternate and very simple topping.

Been looking for a delicious fat bomb recipe…. and I found it! These are amazing. I’m not a dark choc fan but these go so well with the coffee and I drizzled sugar free white choc over the top of the dark choc.
I always have a stash of these in the fridge, I have to hide them from the non ketoers in the house as they are that good!
I didn’t have mascarpone, so I used the following recipe — and even “dumbed down,” the batter tastes fantastic. I look forward to feasting on the frozen bombs tomorrow morning. Will try the mascarpone version later on.
8 0z cream cheese
6 T butter
2.5 T Truvia sweetener
1 pinch kosher salt
25 ml hot water with 1 T instant Folgers coffeeGood to hear it turned out well for you Mary x
Amazing. So delicious. I’m a terrible cook but they turned out brilliant.
Thank you for all you do for us.T
I love hearing that!
I love these! The amounts in the recipe were perfect for me; not too sweet which is my preference. The coffee flavour was subtle which also suited me (not a coffee drinker). Thanks Megan 😃So happy you are enjoying them Helen.
I am addicted to these now, Megan. Another fabulous dessert option.I made the lemon version. A lovely little treat in this hot weather. I didn’t have moulds so used a tray lined with Glad bake. Also doubled the lemon juice to 40mls from a bottle, and a sprinkle of pink rock salt in top too. Delicious!!
Thank you Megan.That sounds so delicious (and pretty) Robyn. I am so glad you enjoyed them and thanks for taking the time to leave a review too.
I made the coffee ones last night and OMG!! Thank you. I wouldn’t change a thing. Yummy!! 😊Awesome Ange! Thanks for giving them a whirl and leaving a great review. I am so glad you enjoyed them too. Cheers!
I’ve bought more ingredients to make these again. Totally luscious. I went with the coffee version ( hard to beat imho ) and used a double shot ristretto. The flavour was superb. I’m going to mould in Easter egg shapes and coat in a drizzle of chocolate.I am sadly nearly out so time to make some more. I am so glad you have enjoyed them Mia and thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review as well. x
Made the mint version, delicious 😋 👌 I’ll post a picture to your Facebook pageSo happy you enjoyed the recipe Simon and thanks for leaving a review and letting us know what you think of the recipe. Cheers 🥂
I just found you and it’s already love at first sight! I will be trying a number of your recipes, this one included. Welcome to my keto life.
Haha! Welcome Maureen! I hope you love the recipe and many more.
I made the tiramisu coffee fat bombs and they are just like having a small serve of Tiramisu. I love them. I made them last night and had to patiently wait till today to try them once they had frozen solid. I made them in a mini muffin pan and they came out easily. I sprinkled them with Avalanche sugar free drinking chocolate. Will definitely make again. Very hard to stop at one!! 😋😋
The coffee fat bombs were very easy to make and taste delicious. Another winner recipe Megan.Awesome! Thanks Jacquie I am so glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for leaving a review too.
I really enjoyed this little bomb, I loved the tiramisu flavour but I would add stronger coffee next time to make it more intense (I used instant coffee) plus more sweetener, but that’s just my personal taste. Also next time I’ll coat with chocolate.
Beautiful megan👍Thanks for the great feedback Lynne. I am a big coffee fan and I do use a short ristretto that is strong but yes add all the extras you need to enjoy them all the more.
Yummy Coffee Fat Bombs. Made them yesterday and finished today. I varied the mascarpone from 200g to 250g as that was the Mascarpone container size. I topped them with 1/4 cup Coconut Oil, 2 tsps cocoa powder 1/2 tsp sweetener, pinch of salt. I spooned this atop of each fat bomb. Very rich and scrumptious!I am so glad you enjoyed them Susan and thanks so much for your extra feedback and variation.
I loved them but would add more coffee next time, I only had instant. Once I drizzled the chocolate on top I sprinkled with a little salt.The only thing that I didn’t like was waiting for them to soften once out of freezer (not a patient person 😉)
Thanks for giving them a test and rating them Sharon. I never wait, honestly they just melt in the mouth when you eat them.
Hi Megan ,
I made the chocolate ones using your sugar free drinking chocolate powder from Healthy Family Keto Cookbook.. they taste like a chocolate milo FATBOMB.Absolutely delicious and love how easy it is to make.
Will definitely try the other versions you have created as well.
Thank you for another brilliant recipe 😍Loving the sound of that Lynda. I now MUST try myself! Thanks for testing and the great tips x
These are very easy to make and a very tasty little frozen fat bomb. I dusted mine with raw cocoa powder and they taste just like tiramisu .
I can’t wait to make the variations in the recipe. Keto mint fat bombs are next but I love having these in the freezer for when the hunger hits .
These really are the bomb Megan!!!
You’ve created yet another winner of a recipeHaha! Loving the bomb analogy! Thanks for testing and the review Lynda. I am so happy you did indeed find this recipe the bomb!
Easy to make with my Thermi. Once mixed, I put it into a clip seal sandwich bag, cut the corner off and piped them into silicone ice cube moulds.
Popped them in the freezer, and then half an hour later, they popped out of the moulds easily. They taste divine! I will be making these again.What a great tip Jenny! Thanks for giving them a try and such a great review. I am so glad you loved them.
All I can say is OMG YUM. I made these last night. I did up a full mixture but divided it in half, did 1/2 coffee tiramisu which I made with instant coffee in a bit of water and the other I did with lemon juice and rind and they are both amazing, Im going to decorate the tiramisu ones with chocolate and the lemon ones with tiny bits of candied lemon rind. Ill definitely be making them again and with different options to try them all. Megan your recipes are the bomb 😍Yay! I am so glad that you have enjoyed them Debbie. Thanks so much for giving them a go and leaving such a great review.
