Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (113 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (226 g / 8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) pure lemon extract
  • 3/4 cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) granular Stevia
  • Ensure your butter and cream cheese are truly at room temperature. This is crucial for achieving a silky-smooth, lump-free texture.
  • Feel free to swap the lemon extract for vanilla or almond extract. You can also add 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) of fresh lemon zest for an extra pop of citrus flavor.
  • For added texture, gently fold in 1/4 cup (960 ml) of toasted shredded coconut or finely chopped pecans after mixing.
  • A small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon / 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz size) makes portioning the fat bombs quick, easy, and uniform.

Method
 

  1. Preparation
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, softened cream cheese, pure lemon extract, and granular Stevia.
  3. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, light, and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or two teaspoons, portion out the cream cheese mixture into 12 even-sized balls and arrange them on the prepared sheet.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the fat bombs are completely firm to the touch.
  7. Once frozen solid, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for storage.
  8. Serve directly from the freezer for the best texture.
