But there is nothing to fear about them if you are into ketogenic diet plan. Keto fat bombs and desserts are snacks that are rich in healthy fats (like coconut cream, coconut oil, cream cheese, etc.), contain very low carbs and moderate or low protein. They supply about 70 to 75% of the daily rate for fats your body needs.

Keto Fat Bombs and Dessert Facts You Must Know
- Keto Fat Bombs Contain Useful Fats: Healthy fats like coconut oil or coconut butter are always one of the major ingredients of keto fat bombs and desserts recipes. The coconut oil helps the keto recipe to solidify when refrigerated, making these fat bombs less messy and enticing to eat.
- Fat Bombs Are Served in Small Portions or Balls: This is because they are packed with fats. Although high fat is recommended in keto diets, but excess of everything is not good. The most recommended way to make them is to use a muffin pan with liners and to pour the mixture into the pan. The muffin pans will serve as a measuring unit for serving.
- Keto Fat Bombs and Desserts May Be Sweet or Savory: Sweet fat bombs are sweet because of some zero carb and low calorie sweeteners used, like stevia. Feel free to use your own low-carb sweetener when preparing sweet keto fat bombs diets. Savory fat bombs contain ingredients like avocado, bacon, etc. These ingredients make them savory.
- Fat Bombs May Contain Seeds and Nuts in Small Quantity: Though seeds and nuts contain ample carbs, they also contain some other useful nutrients. In order to ensure that you don’t introduce much carb to your fat bomb diet, add them the nuts and seeds in small quantities.
- Keto Fat Bombs are Best Stored in Refrigerators: Since fat turns to liquid at room temperature, they must be stored at temperature below room temperature. They can be stored up to a week or 2 weeks (maximum). Freezing is not recommended.
