If you're on the keto diet and need a little treat, try out these Raspberry Lime Cheesecake Fat Bombs! These are rich but still refreshing and zesty thanks to fresh raspberries and lime juice.
Hello, friends! Today, I am sharing a recipe from my high-fat/low-carb keto diet. These little babies are fat bombs, and they are basically the best thing EVER. I made a batch of chocolate and almond butter fat bombs last week, and they tasted like Reese's... this week, I decided to make some citrusy ones! I found quite a few recipes for lemon fat bombs on trusty Pinterest, but when I went to the store... gasp! No more lemons! Not a singular one. So what's a girl to do? Well, use limes instead, obviously. I had a few sad, stray raspberries in the fridge, so those got thrown in as well. What resulted was these totally amazing, rich, lifechanging Raspberry Lime Cheesecake Fat Bombs. They taste like bites of cheesecake ice cream! I DIE.
So, if you are not a keto dieter, fat bombs probably don't make much sense to you. And honestly, on a normal diet with carbs, fat bombs aren't necessary! However, they are super helpful {and super delicious} for when you are into this way of eating and you're falling a bit short on your daily fat guidelines. These are a great way to add in more healthy fats without adding many extra carbs or protein. You need just a few ingredients, which are staples on an average keto diet, and you are well on your way to having amazing, delicious dessert that has zero sugar and hardly any carbs! Yum. Happy eating!
{recipe adapted from Briana's Mildly Interesting Tumblr}
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 oz cream cheese
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of ½ a lime
- about 8 drops liquid Stevia {or ~2 teaspoon granulated stevia}
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese, and microwave in 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth and creamy but not totally melted.
- Whisk the mixture until well-incorporated, then pour in the coconut oil and whisk vigorously.
- Add in the stevia, lime juice, and lime zest, and mix everything together.
- Finally, add in the fresh raspberries, and crush them lightly as you whisk them in.
- Grab a silicone mold or a mini-muffin tin with liners, and divide the mixture evenly. I was able to get about 16 fat bombs with this recipe!
- Place in the freezer until frozen solid {at least 1-2 hrs}, then you can remove from the mold. Store in the freezer or they will melt!

Thank you! I am not sure, but they are Wilton brand so I'm thinking I must have gotten them at Hobby Lobby or Walmart. 🙂
Stephanie says
Do you by chance know the nutrition info for these?
valentina says
Hi Stephanie! I plugged it into a calorie calculator and this is what it said (splitting the batch into 16 fat bombs): 81 calories each, 1g carbs, 9g fat, 1g protein, 23g sodium, 0g sugar. Hope that helps 🙂

can I use blueberries instead? Or cherries?
valentina says
I don't see why not! The carb counts may be different though. I would choose blueberries over cherries as they have more fiber and fewer carbs from what I understand. But flavor-wise they will be good either way!

Your receipt says unsalted butter but the picture shows Kerry Gold salted butter. Which is correct and how important is it to be salted/unsalted? I have a TON of the salted in my fridge.
valentina says
Hi Kelly! Good catch, I honestly never noticed that before! You can use either one in your recipe, I don't think it should make your fat bombs too salty! It will get balanced out with the stevia and raspberries. If you are worried you can also try half salted/half unsalted and see how the flavor is!
Kelly says
Thanks! I got a huge bag of limes at COSTCO to make guacamole and needed a way to use them all. Most recipes call for key lime. Bummer. Can't wait to amke these today with the rest of my meal prep.
Kelly says
Made these and They. Are. The. BOMB! I give samples of my keto foods to keto people at work and a few non-keto folks. These were a hit with everyone. I think the flavors meld much better once they have thawed s little. They are perfect by lunch time with a cold pack in my bag. This will be one of my favs!! Thanks again!
valentina says
Hi Kelly! I am soooo glad you loved them! 🙂 And yes I agree, they do taste better once they are a little thawed but do watch out as they get very soft very fast. Though I am sure you've already noticed that! 😉
Val says
Question, would the recipe still work non-keto?
valentina says
Hi Val! Yes, you can certainly still make these as a snack if you are not keto 🙂
