Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of these Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs starts with just a few simple ingredients, each chosen to deliver perfect taste, texture, and that lovely strawberry color. You’ll find that with minimal effort, these essentials come together to create something truly special and crave-worthy.
- Cream cheese: The rich, creamy base that gives these fat bombs their classic cheesecake texture and tangy flavor.
- Freeze dried strawberries or fresh strawberries: Adds natural sweetness and a vibrant pink hue, plus a lovely fruity zing.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor, bringing warmth and depth to every bite.
- Monk fruit sweetener (or any keto-friendly sweetener): Provides the perfect touch of sweetness without impacting your carb count.
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs Recipe
Step 1: Soften the cream cheese
Begin by letting your cream cheese soften in a mixing bowl. This is a crucial step because softened cream cheese blends effortlessly, ensuring your fat bombs have an ultra-smooth and creamy texture that melts in your mouth.
Step 2: Add strawberries, vanilla, and sweetener
Next, toss in your freeze dried strawberries or fresh strawberries, along with the vanilla extract and monk fruit sweetener. The strawberries infuse a fresh, fruity burst, while the vanilla and sweetener balance the flavors beautifully.
Step 3: Mix until smooth
Use a handheld mixer or strong spoon to blend everything together until you have a silky, uniform mixture. There should be no lumps; this is what transforms simple ingredients into luscious strawberry cheesecake bites.
Step 4: Portion the mixture
Now comes the fun part! Scoop or spoon the mixture into silicone molds or roll them into small balls with your hands. The size is up to you, but bite-sized portions make them easy to enjoy anytime.
Step 5: Chill until set
Pop your shaped fat bombs into the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Chilling is essential to firm them up and come out with that perfect cheesecake firmness that holds together but still yields easily to your bite.
How to Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs Recipe
Garnishes
For a beautiful presentation, sprinkle a dusting of crushed freeze dried strawberries on top, or add a tiny fresh strawberry slice to each fat bomb. A small mint leaf also adds freshness and a pop of green that contrasts nicely with the pink.
Side Dishes

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
You can keep any extra fat bombs stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They maintain their texture and flavor beautifully, making it easy to enjoy them whenever a craving strikes.
Freezing
If you want to make a batch ahead and keep them longer, just freeze the fat bombs in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. They freeze well for up to one month and thaw quickly in the fridge.
Reheating
These fat bombs are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. If you prefer a softer texture, simply let them sit out for 10–15 minutes before eating. Avoid microwaving to preserve their creamy consistency.
FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze dried?
Absolutely! Fresh strawberries work wonderfully and will give a slightly moister texture. Just be sure to finely chop them so they blend evenly into the cream cheese.
What if I don’t have monk fruit sweetener?
Feel free to substitute with your favorite keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or stevia. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, as some sweeteners can be more potent than others.
Are Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs Recipe suitable for keto diets?
Yes! They are low in carbs, rich in healthy fats, and free from sugars, making them perfect for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle.
Can I make these fat bombs vegan?
To make them vegan, try using a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and ensure your sweetener is plant-based. The texture might vary slightly but the flavor will still be delightful.
How long do Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs last?
Stored properly in the fridge, they can last up to a week, and freezing extends their shelf life to about one month without losing quality.
