These vegan Chocolate Cherry Fat Bombs are sweet, rich, and creamy. Sweet juicy cherries inside of dark rich chocolate, oh yeah!
Since I mashed the cherries, the juice is mixed into the chocolate, making it even sweeter.
These Chocolate Cherry Fat Bombs are sweetened with stevia, so they are sugar-free. Although you would never know they were sugar-free from tasting them.
Not only does the juice from the mashed cherries add sweetness, but adding almond extract adds sweetness as well. These are low in carbs and high in fat - perfect for a keto diet.
Fat bombs are an easy, palatable way to get more coconut oil into your diet. I add coconut oil to my morning smoothie and Vegan Bulletproof Coffee as well.
Ever since I started eating a vegan keto diet in September, I have fallen in love with fat bombs. They're easy to make and even more fun to eat. Plus, they come in such a cute little package.
These keto fat bombs are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Chocolate fat bombs with sweet cherries, what's not to love?

How to Melt Coconut Butter
- Melt coconut butter by placing the jar in a saucepan filled with water over medium heat. Occasionally pull the jar out with oven mitts and stir it. If it's hard to stir, stick it back in the simmering water until it's ready.
- Do NOT put the coconut butter in the microwave. It will cook unevenly and burn.
- When it's easy to stir, spoon it into a measuring cup to measure out the amount you need.
💭 Tips
- The coconut oil CAN be heated in the microwave if it's solid, but the coconut butter will cook unevenly and burn.
- Freeze the fat bombs and store them in the fridge or freezer.

It took me awhile to get used to stevia. If you put too much in it tastes bitter.

Do you think that you could use dried cherries?
Willow Moon says
Most definitely!
Jean R says
Make sure to check nutrition labe and carb count as they tend to put a lot of sugar into dried fruits. As if fruits aren't sweet enough. Go figure...:)
Belle says
That looks amazing! I need to have some of those!

Krsten says
I didn't know that you could have treats like this on the Keto diet. I have been looking into the diet and have been scared that I wouldn't have any sweets. These seem so yummy!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Krysten! Yes, you can have sugar free treats. The emphasis with a keto diet is eating a lot of fat, which is why many people on a keto diet like to eat fat bombs. Of course on a vegan keto diet, that includes healthy fats.
