Ingredients You’ll Need
Gathering the right ingredients is half the fun, and for this recipe, each one contributes a unique layer of flavor and texture that makes these fat bombs sing. From the creamy smoothness of cream cheese to the vibrant pop of strawberries, everything works together to create a perfectly balanced bite.
- Cream cheese: Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing and that silky smooth texture we crave.
- Freeze dried strawberries or fresh strawberries: Freeze dried will keep the mix dry and add a concentrated strawberry flavor, while fresh strawberries bring juiciness and vibrant color.
- Vanilla extract: Adds a warm, comforting note that elevates the strawberry and cream cheese flavors.
- Monk fruit sweetener or any Keto-friendly sweetener: Sweetens without sugar, keeping these bites low carb and keto-friendly.
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs Recipe
Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese
Before you start mixing, soften your cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This makes it much easier to blend your ingredients smoothly without any lumps, ensuring your fat bombs are rich and creamy every time.
Step 2: Add Strawberries and Sweetener
Now, toss in your freeze dried strawberries or fresh strawberries along with the vanilla extract and monk fruit sweetener. The choice of strawberry form will slightly change the texture but both bring that luscious strawberry essence we’re after.
Step 3: Mix Until Smooth
Mix everything together thoroughly until it’s perfectly smooth and well combined. This is where your strawberry flavor really weaves into the creamy base, creating that classic strawberry cheesecake taste in every bite.
Step 4: Shape the Fat Bombs
Portion the mixture into silicone molds to create neat little shapes or simply roll the mixture into bite-sized balls with your hands. Both ways work beautifully — it’s all about what’s easiest and most fun for you!
Step 5: Chill Until Set
Place your molds or balls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 to 2 hours. This step is crucial for giving your fat bombs that firm, satisfying texture that melts in your mouth.

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Keep any leftover Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh and perfect for up to a week. This makes it easy to grab a quick snack anytime without extra prep.
Freezing
These fat bombs freeze wonderfully! Store them in a freezer-safe container separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking, and thaw in the fridge for an hour before enjoying. Freezing is ideal for making large batches to enjoy over time.
Reheating
Since these are best eaten cold, reheating isn’t recommended. Instead, let them sit at room temperature a few minutes if they feel too firm from the fridge or freezer, so that creamy texture can soften just right.
FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze dried in this recipe?
Absolutely! Fresh strawberries add juicy brightness but will make the mixture slightly wetter, so chilling a bit longer helps firm up the fat bombs perfectly.
What if I don’t have monk fruit sweetener?
You can swap in any other keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia. Adjust sweetness to taste since some alternatives can be stronger or milder.
Are these fat bombs suitable for keto diets?
Yes! This Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs Recipe is perfectly keto-friendly, using low-carb ingredients and no added sugars, making it a great snack for anyone watching carbs.
How long do these fat bombs last in the fridge?
Stored properly in an airtight container, they’ll stay fresh for up to a week. Just make sure to keep them chilled to maintain their texture and flavor.
Can I add other flavors or mix-ins?
Definitely! You can fold in chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or even a swirl of sugar-free jam to personalize your fat bombs while keeping the creamy cheesecake base.
