Craving something sweet but sticking to your keto goals? I’ve got you! These Almond Joyful Fat Bombs are the ultimate no-bake treat. They’re ridiculously easy to whip up (we’re talking 5 minutes!), packed with healthy fats, and bursting with that classic chocolate, coconut, and almond flavor combination. They’re the perfect little bite to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you energized throughout the day.
Ingredients
• ½ cup / 110g coconut oil, melted
• ½ cup / 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup / 64g creamy almond butter, unsweetened and salted
• ¼ cup / 30g coconut flour
• 1 tsp / 5 ml coconut-flavored liquid stevia, or to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare your pan. Line a 6-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang. This will make it super easy to lift the fudge out later.
2. Mix the base. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil and cocoa powder until smooth. Add the almond butter and continue mixing until fully combined and glossy.
3. Thicken the mixture. Stir in the coconut flour and liquid stevia. The mixture will thicken up nicely. Give it a taste and add more sweetener if you prefer.
4. Chill and set. Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and spread it into an even layer. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, or until completely firm.
5. Slice and serve. Use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the block from the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 16 equal squares.

Pro Tips
• Pro-Tips for Perfect Fat Bombs
• For a true Almond Joy experience, press a whole almond into the top of each square before freezing and mix 2 tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut into the batter.
• Don’t love stevia? You can substitute it with your favorite powdered keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to your taste.
• The type of almond butter matters. Use a creamy, drippy variety with only almonds and salt as for the smoothest texture.
• These fat bombs melt easily at room temperature. Always store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator (up to 5 days) or freezer (up to 1 month) for the best consistency.
