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.

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.

Kelli says
Have you frozen these? I was thinking of making a few different kinds and freezing them so I have variety.
Willow Moon says
I haven't but you definitely could!
Ineffable Annie says
Hi. You won’t be able to use frozen cherries as you can not refreeze thawed food.
Willow Moon says
Actually, it's safe to thaw and then refreeze frozen fruit.
Rose says
Love these, but have made a few changes. I have used cranberry less carbs and added a bit more stevia not much. Also used almond butter, so all in all love the taste. I have always liked the chocolate flavored cherry my dad use to love, and this is how they taste. again thank you.
Willow Moon says
Ooh, that sounds like a great combo! I never checked out carbs for cranberries when I was on the vegan keto diet.
Tena Thomas says
What is the carb intake and calories on 1 of theses?

How many carbs does one fat bomb have in it?

As listed in the comments above 2.8 net carbs.
Gwen Purdie says
These are incredibly delicious. They were easy to make and I put them into small ice cube trays. That means the portions were smaller and I got more, froze them, and will eat only one or two at a time.
Thank you so much!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Gwen, I am so glad that you like them! I like to use ice cube trays for my fat bombs also. Usually I use them when I don't have to photograph them.
maggie says
these look delicious! how many "bombs" did you get from this recipe. i'm concerned that the cherries are pretty high in carbs, and the coconut butter is not carb free, either. I'd just like to do the calculations.
Willow Moon says
Thanks for asking Maggie! I wrote in my notes how many I made, but forgot to post it. I got 12 from this recipe, at 2 tablespoons each. As far as carbs - I had 2.8 net carbs, 89 calories, 8.1 grams fat, and 0.6 grams protein each posted in my app. But since nutritional calculators aren't always accurate, you may want to check it out again. Also, I could have made a mistake. So they are not the best in carbs as far as fat bombs go, but I ate them sparingly when I was on the keto diet. My Coconut Fat Bombs are lower at less than 1 net carb per serving.
Carly says
These look AMAZING! I'd eat them all!

Kimberly @ Berly's Kitchen says
I've never tried anything for the keto diet, but these look amazing. Chocolate and cherries are always a great combo. May have to give these a try.
Maggie Unzueta says
I'm so making this! Love cherries and chocolate together.
Mallory Mitchell says
I love this idea!! What a great little 3pm snack for when my sweet tooth is totally out of control.
Willow Moon says
It's funny you say that because it seems like I usually eat these around that time!
