How To Make White Chocolate Fat Bombs
These are so easy to make! You can scroll down to the printable recipe card for the entire recipe.
First, I want to share an overview of how to make them.
Basically, all you do is melt the cocoa butter and coconut oil over low heat or in a double broiler.
After they are completely melted (it doesn't take very long), stir in the stevia drops.
Then, pour this mixture into silicone cupcake molds/cups. Put these in the refrigerator or freezer until they are completely hardened.
That's it!
Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Fat Bombs
Before I get to the recipe card, I wanted to answer a few questions about fat bombs.
How much fat is in each fat bomb?
I was able to divide the melted fat so that each mold had about 1 tablespoon of fat.
I recently discovered how much better a low carb diet works when high amounts of fat are incorporated into the food.
Like most people, I grew up thinking more fat was bad, but it turns out the opposite is true when you eat a low carb diet.
How many fat bombs can I eat on keto?
You'll need to count your macros to make sure you are eating what your body needs. Some people need more healthy fats than others and some need to eat fewer.
This white chocolate keto fat bombs recipe will become a favorite way consume fat!
For most people, one fat bomb a day is plenty to give them the fat their body needs in order to stay in ketosis.
How do fat bombs keep me in ketosis?
When you eat something with lots of healthy fats (like these fat bombs) your body starts to become trained to use fat as energy instead of carbs.
Fatty acids from dietary fat and body fat can be used directly by cells as a source of energy on a low carb diet. Dietary fat also produces ketones which are another source of energy for the body.
On a low carb diet, ketones are an important replacement for glucose.
Reducing carbs will trigger the conversion of body fat into ketones so they can be used as a source of cellular energy. This is what helps you lose weight.
How long do fat bombs last in the freezer?
Fat bombs last a really long time in the freezer. Just store them in a sealed freezer-safe bag or container. They will stay fresh for up to 6 months.
Keep in mind that if you freeze them, they will have a thicker texture that is more difficult to bite. They are easier to chew if you let them thaw a bit first.
What other flavors of fat bombs can I make?
I love how easy these fat bombs are to personalize and change.
Drizzle some sugar-free chocolate syrup on top. Or, melt some sugar-free dark chocolate and pour them on top, making layers.
You can also crush sugar-free peppermint candies and sprinkle them on top!
This is a very basic recipe that lends itself to a ton of creativity. Have fun with it! Just make sure to use all sugar-free options when you add things to it.
My favorite brand to use is ChocZero. I highly recommend checking it out.
Can I use erythritol instead of stevia drops?
Yes, you can use any kind of your favorite sugar substitute. In order to maintain the texture, I recommend using a liquid or granular sugar substitute.
Make sure to not use a powdered sugar substitute.
Why are these fat bombs such a healthy keto snack?
It took some time and research for me to fully understand why I needed to increase my fat intake on the low carb way of eating. And, if you try to read science articles on gluconeogenesis, it may be way over your head!
Sometimes it's difficult for me to get adequate dietary fat in my diet as a lot of my favorite snacks aren't very high in fat.
To get more fat in my diet, I've started to make fat bomb recipes which are very popular for those on low carb keto diets.
I love simple recipes and this three-ingredient recipe for white chocolate high fat keto treats couldn't be easier.

What can be used in place of coconut oil? We have issues with coconut.
Marcia
Very disappointed. I didn’t care for these at all. There wasn’t much flavor and it was just mildly flavored oil. In high hope, I made a double batch, but couldn’t even eat one, and am tossing them all.
Lisa MarcAurele
These were created to use as a snack with egg fasting so the ingredients are limited. You can add in some flavored collagen or powdered sweetener and extract if needed to lessen the oil and up the flavor.
Mary Walters
Seems like a lot of calories for just 3 ingredients. On carb Manager it says 60 per piece.
Lisa MarcAurele
It's just to have some added fat on keto to meet optimal daily macros.

My husband and I did not care for these too much. There was no vanilla flavoring, it just tasted Like Cocoa butter. I used the exact ingredients in the recipe. I do think this would be good a good base for other flavorings. If anyone has used this with other flavors I'd like to know the flavor and sweetener you used.
Rabellaka
I tried different flavours in a mold meant for my instant pot, I put a few drops of flavour in the bottom, then mixed them. Apparently food colouring doesn’t mix well with oil, lol! I did that so I could tell them apart easier. 😉 I also skipped any sweetener.
I tried sugarless maple syrup, rose water, orange extract, lemon juice, peppermint extract, matcha powder, and a flavoured matcha. Most of the flavours separated out, but they were still faintly flavoured, except the rose one, that one mixed quite well, and the mint. That was almost overpowering.
Stevie
Not sure if I messed up somewhere or if my expectations were wrong. Just tried it, and all I taste is the cacao butter, none of the sweetness. I added both stevia and monk fruit. Really was excited to try this but I was hoping for a sweeter result.
Lisa MarcAurele
I've found that using the powdered extracts with a little vanilla extract actually works better. Liquid sweeteners don't mix in as well as the powdered ones.
Stevie
Will try, thanks!
Mary
Same here. I'm going to try some flavor extracts next time. I'm hoping this recipe will work well as a base.
Healthy Tips
Appreciate the recommendation. Let me ttry it out.
Jason
This recipe looks great, but I have a question. I'm not a big fan of buying single-use products, so I was wondering if you think it would work with a combination of un-flavored stevia and vanilla extract, which I already have? If so, any idea what amounts?
Lisa
A combination of unflavored stevia and vanilla extract works as a sub for the vanilla stevia.
Jennifer Dunn
I tried the reg stevia/vanilla extract substitution, unfortunately, once the bombs froze the vanilla separated out. The original recipe may taste great, idk, but mine were terrible. Lol
Lisa MarcAurele
Vanilla powder should correct that and I'll add that to the recipe. Even with the drops, it tends to separate out, but it's a smaller amount.
Janet
Hi, I can’t cope with Stevia AT ALL. Tastes like metal to me. Can I use erythritol?
Lisa
Just be careful with erythritol. Too much can crystallize and make it crunchy. Monk fruit extract is a better option but any sweetener should work out.
Chris
I could not get the Stevia to dissolve in the oils. Any tips for helping this? I ended up using 39 drops of Stevia because I could not get them to become sweet and I think it is because the Stevia did not want to break down. Thanks
Lisa
I add in the stevia at the end because the mixture does need to be a bit cooler to get it mixed in well. Was the mix still very hot? It should mix in okay when the mix has cooled to warm from hot.
Vera
Hey i usually disolve stevia in a hot water,it works perfectly.
Debbie
Hi!
I made the recipie and have a few questions . I used Organic cacao butter. Is there a difference in cocoa butter. I also used the liquid coconut oil. The stevia was just the regular , not the vanilla. It did not taste that good. What do you think was the problem? Thanks
Lisa
You should use the regular coconut oil and there shouldn't be any difference in cocoa butter. Also, if you use regular stevia, adding in vanilla extract will give a better taste.
An Mo
I tend to use lemon or lime juice in recipes to offset the bitterness of the stevia extract.
For this one, I used the juice of half a lime.
It actually complemented all other flavors really well, and the amount of carbs you get from the juice is pretty negligible (~0.5g/serving).
...And if you're feeling gourmet: try chopped basil as a garnish. 😉
Lisa
Nice tip!
Kate
Hi. I made this recipe and was so excited. Not sure what I did wrong but it was awful. I had tried the cocoa butter raw and it was bad. To me the final product tasted almost the same. Used exact same brand. Ugh. So wanted to like it.
Lisa
If you don't like the taste of coconut butter, this isn't the recipe for you.
Mary Walters
Same here.
Peggy
I was just reading the nutrition list for Anthony's cocoa butter and noticed it has zero carbs so could you not just eat eat by itself? I live on the road (truck driver) so fat bombs are not really an option for me. I add 2tbsp mct oil to my 24 oz of coffee every morning with 2tbsp of butter. How much more fat do I need to consume anyway?
Lisa
You can eat cocoa butter by itself and I have done that.
DONNA ROSE
Hi. I am allergic too coconut. Will olive oil be ok?
Lisa
You'd be better off using ghee or unsalted butter.
Belinda Madison
Whatbcan i use instead of the coconut im.deathly allergic
Lisa
You could try butter or ghee.
Susanne
Which type/size of silicone molds did you use?
Lisa
I used silicone cupcake molds and they do have a narrow taper at the bottom.
Roxanne Rosa
I have a question can I use cacao butter instead of cocoa butter? What is the difference?
Lisa
They are basically the same.
Lauren
Hi. I was wondering what you suggest. I’m grossed out by coconut oil to eat. I’ve tried it and I just can’t. Can I use all cocoa butter? Or maybe something else?
Lisa
All cocoa butter should be fine.
Deb
I can’t find cocoa butter. Does it go by any other name?
Lisa
It can be tough to find. I order it online and am sure to buy the food grade kind. It's often used to make your own beauty products.
Lyla
its available on Amazon.
Dave Knight
Netrition.com has it for a better price than whole foods.
Thalita Kimura Ferreira
I found at Whole Foods too
Jojo
Will Cacao butter work instead please?
Cocoa butter seems near impossible to find here.
Thanks 🙂
Lisa
It should. They are very similar.
DONNA ROSE
I got mine of Amazon
Nicole
I made these today and I threw them out :(. I think the cooling effect of the vanilla Stevia ruined them for me. Maybe mix swerve and stevia?
Lisa
Stevia shouldn't have a cooling effect as that comes from erythritol. I'd suggest blending in monk fruit concentrate instead with the stevia.
Soapslinger
It's difficult to mix liquid Stevia in with cocoa butter coconut oil, since the mixture is anhydrous and does not contain any emulsifier. So, allow the oils mixture to cool until it is starting to gel, then add your Stevia to the thickening oil mixture. It should stay suspended a little better.
Sharon Young
I'm wondering where I can find cocoa butter for this recipe? Amazon does not have Anthony's now.
Lisa
Any brand of food grade cocoa butter works.
PENNY
I JUST GOT COCONUT BUTTER, ANTHONY'S FROM AMAZON
Vanessa
What brand of cocoa butter is used? Can you use Now Foods brand. The back says food safe. Other ppl say it's just a moisturizer. Please help. Ordering from Amazon isn't an option for me at the moment either. TIA!
Lisa
Any food safe cocoa butter is fine to use.
Myra
Hi there
I love your blog post, WHITE CHOCOLATE FAT BOMBS FOR KETO DIET, and we would love to feature it on our website, GreenThickies.com. Would it be OK for me to use one of your photos within my post? I will of course link back to your post.
Thanks so much

Photo and link are okay to use. Please do not copy and paste the recipe. Thank you.
Kerri
Do you have any sweet fat bombs that don't use coconut. I am allergic but can have butter.
Lisa
You might as well go for this recipe. It's got plenty of fat and no coconut.
Steph
Hi! I just made this recipe and only came up with 6 cups even though I kept them thin and small like your pictures, if not thinner. What went wrong? I combined 1/4 cup unmelted unrefined cocoa butter and 1/4 cup coconut oil and then melted them on the stove. Then I added the stevia. The mixture looked like melted butter and was only enough for 6 cups. Am I missing something?
Lisa
It's the size of the cups. Mine are very narrow on the bottom.
Vickie Larsen
Lisa, I look forward to receiving your recipes every day ! You are my low carb guru ! Thank you so much. ?
Lisa
You are very welcome Vickie!
Diane
I have just made this. Did not have vanilla drops so used vanilla bean paste! Unfortunately this did I not dissolve. Can't wait to try, smells amazing! Thanks
Lisa
Did you use a sugar free vanilla bean paste? I haven't found one that doesn't contain sugar.
Bev
Use fresh vanilla beans
Rebecca
The comments are confusing. Is the recipe correct, meaning is it 1/4 MELTED or NOT MELTED?
Lisa
The coconut oil and cocoa butter are melted together. Then, the stevia is added.
gayle princess
Where do you suggest to buy cocoa butter from? Link please and thank you. ?
Lisa
I buy mine from Amazon.
Barbarainnc
Stupid tablet won't let me go to your link. Can you tell me the brand and stuff about it.
Lisa
You just melt 1/4 cup cocoa butter with 1/4 cup coconut oil and add about 10 drops stevia. Pour into molds and refrigerate. The fat bombs should just pop right out of the molds when chilled.
Terri
Cacao butter is available on Amazon
Tara Q.
I am curious, though, how you arrived at 14g fat per serving of yours? 25g cocoa butter only has 25g fat and a 1/4c of coconut oil has ~55g fat. So, that's only 10g per tablespoon unless I'm missing something? Thanks!
Lisa
I do think the fat grams are more like 10g or so. The original calculation must have had a mistake.
Tara Q.
So, I figured out what happened. Cocoa butter and coconut oil have the same amount of fat: 1g per 1g. 1/4c is equal to about 56 grams (4 tbls) not 25g (1/8 cup or 28g). You were calculating fat for 1/4 cup, not 25g. So the fat calculations were correct just not for 25g measurements. 🙂
Lisa
Good to know. Thanks!
Diane Beasley
So I did it wrong? I can't do things wrong with my sons kept diet. My bombs are chilling and smelled surprisingly good and maybe my poor little dairy allergic and on the keto for a little over 5 months little 2 year old can taste something really delicious, but it sounds like if I followed the recipe of 25 grams, that was short I think of what you guys are saying here, I'll re-read over and figure it out. Gotta stay sharp all the time, its exhausting!
Lisa
Sorry if it's confusing.
keri
What are you using to figure out the nutrition stats? I'm very new to this.
Lisa
This one was done using the Calorie Count recipe analyzer.
Diane Beasley
It's a good thing I saw this before I fed it to my baby (as my first time made bombs are chilling as I write) . I don't know what difference in his body it would make, to have 25 grams instead of 10 grams)and it being a mistake sounds like a BIG oopsies. Always check with your dietican. No wonder they smelled so good.
Lisa
It's 10 grams per mold if you divide between 8. The 25 grams is the weight of the cocoa butter.
Tara Q.
Ok, I am convinced this is the perfect fat bomb base recipe. I love that it uses cocoa butter instead of just pure coconut oil. It really makes for a nice change from all the coconut already in a keto diet. This is the easiest recipe to make and change to whatever flavor you want, and I think it's brilliant! I have a lot of pure food flavors from LorAnn, so it's easy to adjust to whatever I'm desiring. However, I have to share my Peanut Butter Honey variation because OH MY GOD. Btw, I always use 50g of cocoa butter chips versus 25g along with the 1/4c oil (personal preference). Ok, (omitted stevia drops) added:
~2oz full fat coconut milk (12g fat, 2 carbs)
~4 TBL PB Fit Powder (3g fat, 4g net carbs, 12g protein)
~1/4c erythritol (no added counts. FYI: you can use granulated but it will settle to the bottom of your mold (let sit in hot butter/oil mix as long as possible). I suggest powdered if you have it or do it yourself in a coffee grinder)
~2 drops stevia glycerite (optional but invaluable for keto baking since it takes the edge off pure erythritol)
I cannot believe how delicious these turned out. Admittedly, it adds a touch of protein and carbs, about 1g protein and .5g carb per tablespoon. Since I add the extra cocoa butter and have a smaller sized mold, I get about 14 pieces (not TBL) per batch. If you are curious about the total counts for my exact recipe (and then you can divide it yourself): 1190 cal, 115g fat, 6g carbs, 12g protein.
Lisa
Thanks for the info!
Anne
Have you ever heard of "rabbit starvation"? It's a term that has been around for a long time. I believe it refers to times where people who've been out in the woods for a long time, living off of just hunted animals, mostly rabbits, would get sick and die from lack of fat, since wild game is so lean. Here's the wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation
Lisa
Good thing we are all eating our fat then!
Debra
I can't wait to try this! Could I add some collagen powder to this or will it throw everything off? Always looking for good ways to add my nutrition! Love your recipes!
Lisa
Thank! You should have no issue adding in a little collagen powder.
Lynn
Collagen powder is tasteless in coffee. I love it, it dissolves quickly. ☕️
Lisa
I used to use it in my coffee too. You don't even know it's there!
Jennifer
I have swerve on hand and vanilla extract. Do you think I could just taste test and get the same results, or close to it?
Lisa
Taste should be okay, but not sure if the erythritol will melt in. You may need to powder it and add a bit at a time.
Nadine
How did it go with the swerve? I have that too.
Jokene
1/4 cup of melted cocoa butter or 1/4 of unmelted cocoa butter?
Lisa
Melted. Otherwise impossible to mix in. I'll fix next update.
Greg
I think that the question may be about volume, A cup of melted cocoa butter would contain, by weight, much more cocoa butter than if it was just cut into small peices and measured.
Lisa
I used unmelted. I usually weigh it, not sure why I didn't in this recipe. I'll add the weight for 1/4 cup unmelted.
Emily
Hi Lisa,
The coconut oil I have is a solid like the cocoa butter. Do you just measure out 25g each on a kitchen scale?
Lisa
I'm not sure if the weight for coconut oil would be the same. You may want to use 4 tablespoons which is equivalent to 1/4 cup.
Debbie
I am not a big eater and am looking for ways to boost my good fat as that is so low my bad fat is a bit high. Is this good or bad fat? I have never used cocoa butter as food so I was unaware of the type of fat but if it the same as nuts then I am all for trying it.
Lisa
Cocoa butter is a natural healthy fat similar to nuts.
Kaylee
Doesn't cocoa butter have a lot of carbs in it?
Lisa
Cocoa butter has a lot of fat, not carbs. There are zero carbs in a cup of cocoa butter which is similar to most oils.
Linda @ the fitty
I'm used to eating much bigger portions, will this little really keep me satisfied? I guess it's psychological, huh?
Lisa
I eat one with a hard boiled egg between meals and it is just enough to tie me over to my next meal. I was really over eating before so I think it is a mind thing.
Amanda
Hi there! Just wondering what other types of vanilla flavorings I could use? Could I use a SF Vanilla Syrup or is it not potent enough for the amount of liquid, etc?
Thanks!
Lisa
A sugar free syrup would be fine as a substitute, but you'd have to taste for the correct amount.
Julie
Do you like a certain brand of cocoa butter? Is that something you can buy at a regular grocery store. I guess I have heard of cocoa butter that you put on your body but never thought of it in terms of eating.
Lisa
I've been buying KAKOSI organic cocoa butter off Amazon. It's a good food grade organic cocoa butter. Here's a link: http://amzn.to/1xe2RDs
Anonymous
Can you get cocca butter at HEB or Walmart?
Lisa
I have never seen it locally other than in some natural food stores. It is used for soap making so sometimes the food grade kind is available in that type of craft store. I buy mine on Amazon.com.
