Ingredients
• Chocolate Coconut Filling
• 1 Tbsp / 7g cacao powder
• 2 Tbsp / 20g chocolate protein powder
• 4 Tbsp / 60ml full-fat coconut milk
• 2 Tbsp / 15g coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp / 15g shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 1 Tbsp / 10g cacao nibs
• Coconut Butter Topping
• 1 tsp / 5ml coconut oil, softened
• 2/3 cup / 150g coconut butter, softened
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cacao powder, chocolate protein powder, coconut milk, coconut flour, shredded coconut, and cacao nibs.
2. Whisk vigorously for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is thick, smooth, and fully combined.
3. Spoon the chocolate mixture evenly into small silicone molds.
4. Place the molds in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 30 minutes.
5. While the bites are chilling, prepare the topping. In a separate small bowl, stir the softened coconut oil and coconut butter together until you have a smooth, creamy, and pourable coating.
6. Remove the chilled molds from the refrigerator and pour the coconut butter coating over each chocolate bite.
7. Return the molds to the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the coating is completely firm to the touch. Enjoy straight from the fridge!

Pro Tips
• For the smoothest filling, use a hand mixer on low speed to eliminate any clumps from the protein or coconut flour.
• Silicone molds work best for easy removal. If you don’t have any, a mini muffin tin lined with paper cups is a great alternative.
• Gently warm your coconut butter and oil in a bowl set over warm water (or in 15-second bursts in the microwave) to prevent it from separating or getting too hot.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to the topping before it sets to enhance the rich chocolate and coconut flavors.
FAQ
Q: What makes these fat bombs keto-friendly
A: These No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Fat Bombs are perfect for a keto diet because they are high in healthy fats from coconut products and very low in net carbohydrates, with less than 1 gram per serving. They use keto-approved ingredients like coconut flour and avoid sugar.
Q: How should I store these chocolate coconut fat bombs
A: For the best texture, store these fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They are made with coconut oil and butter, which will soften at room temperature, so keeping them chilled is essential.
Q: Can I make this recipe without protein powder
A: Yes, you can omit the protein powder. To achieve a similar thick consistency for the filling, you may need to add a little extra coconut flour or cacao powder. Adjust until the mixture is smooth and holds its shape.
Q: What can I use instead of silicone molds
A: If you don’t have silicone molds, a mini muffin tin lined with paper or silicone cups works perfectly. You can also press the mixture into a small parchment-lined pan, chill, add the topping, and then slice into individual squares after it has fully set.
