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.

I just made my first batch of these and they are delicious. I’m going to have a hard time limiting myself to just one or two a day. I am always on the lookout for fat bomb recipes that use liquid stevia because erythritol does not agree with me at all. I think just about any berry would be excellent in this recipe—next time I might substitute strawberries for the cherries.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Linda, I'm so glad that you like them! Strawberries would be good in these!
Kristin says
Hello! This recipe looks amazing and I can't wait to make it. One question: do you think you could substitute a different extract for almond, like vanilla extract? We have a nut allergy in our home. Thank you!
Willow Moon says
Definitely! You could also just leave it out, but vanilla extract would add flavor.

Thanks!
Amy Thiessen @ These Wild Acres says
yum, yum YUM! I usually stick the whole jar of coconut oil in the oven for a minute- I'll have to give your method a try! 😀
Willow Moon says
I've never tried the oven method. So it doesn't burn? I'll have to try it. The water method always makes me nervous. I'm afraid that I'll splash myself and get burned, but that is the method the company lists on the jar, so that's what I do. The microwave burns it, so that's out.

Normally I do not read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice article.
Dave says
Gotta say, these are the best fat bombs I’ve come across in a long while. I changed it up a little in the following ways;
Used 3 teaspoons of Swerve (powder form) as did not have Stevia drops. Tested while mixing to make sure it was OK... Sweetness was perfect.
Also used raspberries instead of cherries.
One mistake I made was not thawing the raspberry mash enough before adding to the mix..... it was too cold and after adding raspberries to the mixture, it congealed so fast my whisk was trapped in a semi solid ball. Managed to fix it by scraping it off the whisk, back into a large microwaveable measureing cup, then microwaving for 20 seconds to reliquify. Poured the liquified mixture into cups, put in freezer and viola, perfect Chocolate Raspberry Fat bombs 30 minutes later.
Delicious!!!
Willow Moon says
I'm so glad you like them! I love the way you changed them to your liking. I have not tried Swerve yet, but since so many readers mention it, I am going to have to one of these days.
Carol says
Can you please clarify why the ‘Nutrition Facts’ table posted with this recipe has completely different numbers than the nutrition breakdown in your comments that you keep referring people back to? Why wouldn’t you edit the table if you’ve discovered that both calories and carbs are higher? It’s really misleading to those new to keto who may not read the comments and are relying on the table that you posted with the recipe.
Willow Moon says
I added the nutritional info after posting my nutritional info in the comments, so in my comments I am not referring to that calculator. Also, as it states below the nutrition info: "Nutrition information should be considered an estimate only. Different nutrition calculators give you different results." When I was on the keto diet I found different brands to give different results, like vegan cream cheese had a difference of 2 net carbs per serving. Different brands can change net carbs dramatically. I would advise to still count the carbs, etc. yourself to make sure you are in your carb limit. When you are limiting yourself to say 20 net carbs a day, a different brand can make a huge difference. Nutrition facts are estimates only.
Victorie says
Can you substitute butter for coconut butter?
Willow Moon says
I've been vegan for almost 20 years, so I haven't used butter for a long time, but I wouldn't think so. Coconut butter has a very different consistency and taste than butter.
Kathy says
Is the coconut oil refined or unrefined?
Willow Moon says
I used unrefined.
Linda says
Is the frozen black berries necessary? Can I remove them in the recipe?
Willow Moon says
Of course!
