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.

is that 3/4 cups of cherries mashed up or before being mashed up?
Willow Moon says
That's 3/4 cup before being mashed.
Natalie says
My whole family loves these! They are hard to keep around because they get eaten up so quickly!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Natalie! That's great to hear!
Cindy says
I LOVE these! I am glad that they are sugar free because I am addicted!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Cindy!
Melissa says
Is there any way to get the nutrition information on these so I can properly count my calories and net carbs?
Willow Moon says
I've included it in the comments above.
Debra says
I just wanted to tell you that these are my favorite Fat Bombs of all that I have made. When I started my journey with Keto I was a chocolate/peanut butter junkies and then I decovered these chocolate cherry beauties. The dark chocolate and the refreshing cherry is a pure treat each and every time I enjoy one. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us. Bless you.
Willow Moon says
Thank you Debra! I am so glad to hear it!
Kelly says
These look incredibly good, and cherries are my favourite fruit (berry?) by far. Cherry is my preferred flavour of many drinks and sugar free candies. And that almond extract will just bring out that cherry flavour even more... like marzipan. YUM. I can't wait to try this! (And I use stevia regularly and always have solid coconut oil around at all times, so this is right up my alley.)
I definitely have to try this.
However, my question is: could you use fresh cherries?
I have yet to actually see frozen cherries in our stores up in Ontario, Canada (otherwise, they'd be in my freezer already).
Willow Moon says
I don't see why not, since frozen cherries are frozen fresh. Just make sure they are sweet because the sweet ones add a lot of flavor to the recipe.
Kelly says
Thanks! I'll have to give this a try! 🙂
Sonya says
Walmart and Costco sell dark frozen berries in Ontario (I have some in my freezer now)
Dana says
These sound delicious and plan to make them today! However, I'm not a fan of Stevia so I've started using Swerve. Any guess the equivalent of Swerve to Stevia? Thanks!
Willow Moon says
I still have yet to try Swerve, so I am of no help. Sorry! Maybe someone reading the comments could help.
Kelly says
I was just reading on a few sites that the Swerve to sugar measurement ratio is 1:1, but Stevia to sugar is 1:2.
Maybe start with 2-3 drops of Swerve, then taste-test to see if it needs any more? Just a thought.
Carol says
I use a tablespoon of swerve in these and find the sweetness just right! Love these fat bombs!
Megan says
Is there a way to make these without the coconut butter?
Willow Moon says
You could add more coconut oil, but it will change the consistency. I have never done it, so I'm not sure of the results.
Sharon says
I was wondering the same thing, did you make them Megan, withouth the coconut butter??
Brenda says
Because I have just started the Keto diet, I wonder if there is a breakdown of fat/carbs for this recipe. It really looks delicious.
Willow Moon says
Yes, I wrote it in the comments above.
Janel says
I am glad to hear you not recommending maraschino cherries in this recipe. I would like to speak about the maraschino cherry processing plants that I know of. The cherries are brought in from the orchards and the ones that aren’t sold as fresh fruit are put into large vats for a long time in a bribe solution of sulfur dioxide and calcium chloride. Sometimes stinks so bad that just walking past the plant causes one to hold their breath . So a fresh cherry is bleached and then flavoring, sweetener and color are added back into the fruit. After discovering this I will not eat Maraschino Cherries. If one know of a different way they are processed please share.
