Ingredients
• 4.5 oz / 128 g Melted coconut oil
• 1 tbsp Granulated keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
• 2 tbsp Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 tsp Peppermint extract
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
1. Preparation Method
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, granulated sweetener, and peppermint extract until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
3. Pour approximately half of this peppermint mixture evenly into 6 cavities of a silicone mold or ice cube tray. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the white layer is firm to the touch.
4. To the remaining mixture in the bowl, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and the shredded coconut. Whisk until smooth and well combined to create the chocolate layer.
5. Carefully pour the chocolate-coconut mixture over the firm white layer in the molds, distributing it evenly.
6. Return the molds to the freezer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the fat bombs are completely solid.
7. Once firm, gently pop the fat bombs out of the molds. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Pro Tips
• Use silicone molds for the easiest removal; they are flexible and the fat bombs pop right out without breaking.
• For a smoother, non-gritty texture, use a powdered sweetener instead of granulated, as it dissolves more easily into the coconut oil.
• Store these fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
• Feel free to adjust the peppermint extract to your liking. Start with 1/4 tsp and add a drop more if you prefer a stronger mint flavor.
