Ingredients
• 1 cup / 240ml coconut oil
• 1 cup / 227g coconut butter
• ½ cup / 70g fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1 tbsp / 15ml lemon juice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Stevia drops, to taste
Instructions
1. Preparation Method
2. Line a 6×6 inch container with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to act as handles for easy removal.
3. If using frozen blackberries, combine them in a small saucepan with the coconut oil and coconut butter. Warm over medium-low heat until the fats are melted and the berries have softened.
4. Transfer the mixture to a small blender. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and stevia drops. If using fresh blackberries, add them now.
5. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm. Use the parchment handles to lift the block from the pan and slice into 16 squares.

Pro Tips
• For a beautiful swirl effect, blend the base first. Pour half into the pan, then blend the blackberries with the remaining half and pour it over the top, using a knife to create swirls before chilling.
• Feel free to swap blackberries with other keto-friendly berries like raspberries or strawberries. Adjust sweetener as needed based on the tartness of the fruit.
• Store these fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months for a quick grab-and-go treat.
• For the smoothest texture, ensure your coconut butter is softened or slightly melted before blending to avoid any clumps.
