How to Make Gingerbread Fat Bombs

Tips and Variations

- Reheating - These holiday fat bombs are meant to be served chilled. If warmed up, they may crumble apart. However, you can attempt warming them for a few seconds in the microwave if you prefer them warm. If serving from the freezer, let them thaw on their own until they reach an edible temperature.
- Dip in icing - You can make a keto icing by mixing keto powdered sugar and almond milk or water in a small dish. 1 tablespoon of liquid per ½ cup of powdered sugar are the optimal measurements to work with.
- My mixture is too dry - If your mixture is dry and won’t hold together to from the balls, melt your butter instead of simply softening it. You can also try adding just a dribble of water or other keto-friendly liquid like almond milk.
- My mixture is too gooey - If your mixture is too wet to work with, try adding a bit of almond or coconut flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Don’t add too much at once.
- Skip the chilling step - If your keto gingerbread fat bombs are holding together well, you can skip the chilling step altogether if desired.
- Add coconut oil - If you want a bigger burst of healthy fats, swap some of the butter out for coconut oil.
