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

First Keto Dessert Recipe, that I really was astonished at !!!
I am trying a lot of Katie”s Recipes, as this was incredible, and the small size cheesecake balls, where perfect for getting
the amount of dessert you feel like eating !
I used Swerve Confectionery Sugar, and it came out fabulous!
I found out that melting the chocolate sugarless chips in a small frying pan on low , came out perfect to drip over the balls of
cheesecake. Usually I do not care for Stevia, as it has an after taste, but using Little’s Chocolate Semi-sweet chips, with it, you could not taste the Stevia bitterness.
Mine turned out like cream cheese frosting, it will still be good to eat.
I just made these with real butter. They are in the freezer but I can tell you just from licking the scraper that they are so good!! I have granulated monk fruit sweetener so I just put it in my spice grinder for 30 seconds. I only used 2 tbps and that was perfect for me. I did add the tiniest splash of vanilla….I’m considering a tiny splash of lemon next time. I am going to try them on my husband tonight and see if he likes them. This recipe was a lifesaver for me today! I was desperately wanting a treat that was atkins friendly. Thank you!
Sorry if this is a silly question, but do you defrost these before eating?
You can, but you don’t have to!
So so so good! I was craving a dessert that wasn’t too sweet but had lots of richness. These are amazing. I used tahini butter and powdered swerve, with a couple tablespoons of cacoa to add even more richness. Thank you!
Love these. I also used cacoa. Just a few minutes in the freezer & I poured melted 95% Lindt chocolate mixed with a little powdered Swerve. Freezes quickly. We are ready to try lemon flavored & coffee flavored next
I made these for a New Year’s Eve get together where I knew one person has to eat gluten free. I accidentally started way too late and was concerned they wouldn’t be done, but they truly come together quickly and easily. They are tasty and a nice contrast to all those holiday sweets. I tried the chocolate variation, and added some crushed candy canes and peppermint extract to some (next time I’ll use more in the filling for this idea). Thanks for another great recipe!
These fat bombs are delicious!! I covered mine with some lilys chocolate and sprinkled them with unsweetened coconut. Yummy!!!
I’m a have to gluten-free and my mind is reeling here! Oh My Gosh. I know how my day is going tomorrow.
Delicious! But how do you get then so perfect? Mine stick to the ice cream scoop. Thanks
Hmm, what about spraying the scoop with oil spray?
These are so good! My husband keeps asking for more!
