Low Carb Cheesecake Bombs
I’m one of those people who always crave dessert at the end of each meal.
Some of my friends can eat just a salad for lunch or dinner and be completely satisfied… but that has NEVER been me!
It doesn’t need to be a brownie sundae or a whole slice of cake or anything—just a small piece of dark chocolate, or a single Vegan Peanut Butter Cup will work.
If I don’t have some sort of dessert, I feel like the meal isn’t over yet.
So these quick-to-prepare cheesecake bombs are perfect for people like me.
They are an easy everyday snack you can make just once and keep on hand throughout the week for whenever you’re craving something sweet.

Chocolate Chip
The basic recipes for chocolate and vanilla are below, or change up the flavor by adding mini chocolate chips, instant coffee, lemon zest, a pinch of cinnamon, or anything you have on hand that sounds good to you!
You can also cover them in melted chocolate, sprinkles, crushed oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut if desired.
For peanut butter cream cheese bombs, simply replace the butter or coconut oil with peanut butter.
The cream cheese balls should work with most butter spreads, coconut oil, or coconut butter.
I used a low-fat butter spread (Smart Balance Light, which is also vegan) for the balls in the photos, to ensure low-fat spreads are also fine to use.
Trending Right Now: Whipped Coffee Recipe – 3 Ingredients
About a year ago, in my original post about the Fat Bombs trend sweeping the internet, I’d mentioned the treats are often made with cream cheese.
Ever since that post, I’ve gotten so many questions from readers about how to make fat bombs using cream cheese that it went to the top of the list as something to try, and they are just as good as everyone’s been saying!
The recipe was inspired by the frosting on these Pumpkin Cupcakes.
Cream Cheese Bombs
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp butter spread of choice, or coconut oil or coconut butter
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- for chocolate bombs, add 1 tbsp regular or dutch cocoa powder
Instructions
- Soften the first two ingredients. Combine everything until smooth: using a hand mixer yields smoothest results, but stirring with a fork will technically work if needed. Spread into a container, or use a cookie scoop to scoop balls onto a parchment-lined plate. (If batter is too soft, just chill until firm enough to scoop.) Freeze to set. If using a container, cut into squares or bars. You can also cover them in melted chocolate at this time if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.View Nutrition Facts

I so need to try these! I have cream cheese just begging to be used…
I made them last night! I did not add cocoa powder, but I plan to cover them in melted chocolate after work today- as long as I have some left! They’re so good, I feel like I’m eating amazing balls of cheesecake.
My newest favorite dessert. Yum. It’s a small, delicious cheesecake bite that just melts in your mouth.
If these are keto how is it that they can be dipped in chocolate? Is there a special sugar free chocolate you haven’t mentioned?

What type of cream.cheese is best? Brick, whipped, etc? Can you use the reduced fat?
Brick is good. I’m not sure anyone in the comments has tried reduced fat yet but be sure to report back if you experiment!

Holy creamy goodness! Fantastic recipe. Thank you. Swapped out the coconut butter with an almond nut butter which already had cacao powder and coconut shreds mixed in. Used a bit less than 2 Tbsp powdered Swerve. Impatiently waiting for it to set in freezer so I can add melted dark chocolate chips as a topping. *Someone* had to clean off the mixing blades so I took one for the team. 😎 The cream cheese filling is incredible, rich and delicious and fluffy. As usual, Katie offers a magic recipe!
LOL I would be that someone too!

How the heck do you get 8-10 balls out of this? What are they pea size? Am i missing something?
Can you just use real butter?
Yes that works
Do you add the sweetener to the cream cheese/ butter mix?
Yes! I always do 🙂
When reading the nutrition facts it says based on 10. Is 10 the serving size you would eat?
I presumed that meant a serving size would be one, if your dessert yields are 10.
I love these cream cheese bombs. They are so soft that by putting in your our mouth it melts.
